Chris Rubin 10/21/58 to 08/15/08

All I can continue to say is Thank you...for your support, your prayers, your compassion and care...

It's hard to understand that the answer to all of our prayers was Chris's death. I am opening my heart to Faith, Faith that will open a window to possibilities we have not yet imagined. I will keep looking for signs of a greater purpose. Chris is with me 24 hours a day. It's truly an unconditional Love that will live forever...Please know how grateful I am for all of you and what your prayers meant to Chris. Love, Angie

I am saddened to hear about the loss of your loved one. It is always difficult and hard to understand. But we must remember that even though we don't understand it God does all things well. Our lives belong to God. It is wonderful to know that Chris is now with the Lord and that alone is a beautiful thing. Love is someting that supersedes death and if Chris was with you here on earth he is surely still with you in spirit. Believe! I love you my sister in Christ. Death on earth is only the beginning of our life with the Lord. Chris is in Heaven! God is the ultimate reward.

Dear Angie: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My mom went to be with the Lord a few days before Chris did. My heart is broken, and I'm sure yours is too. Faith is what will get both of us through this. We miss them, we love them, we will cherish them and they are with us every moment of the day. We have faith that they are in heaven, we have faith that they are happy, we have faith that we will see them one day. We have faith in our Lord and Savior and we have faith in his word and in his promises. May our dear Lord surround your heart and your mind with peace and comfort in knowing that Chris will always be. God Bless You. FaithinGod

Dearest Angier,

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your great loss, and my profound gratitude for your prayers for my father last year when he was hospitalized. He died after 11 months in the hospital, but we had that time with him and I believe the prayers of you and other great people made it the most meaningful possible in some awful environments.

It was so kind of you to pray for us even while you were going through such a tragedy, and I will always be grateful to you and the other good people who care.

In my life, nothing but time has eased the pain of the loss of a beloved family member, and I know that nothing we can do will change what has happened. But please accept our prayers for you, Chris, and your family, and my very deepest thanks for your loving kindness to mine.

Sincerely,

Judy
