I dedicate this post and prayers to my husband and father of my 2 wonderful adult children.
We love you and miss you…

I want to explain something before dedicating this. My post is dedicated to my godson, though he was not baptized, nor if he had lived would he have been. It was my senior year in high school and one of my friends was kicked out of her mother’s house. Jolene had grown up with a mother who was mentally ill and addicted to drugs, her older sister dropped out of high school, and she was pregnant. My mom couldn’t stand the thought of having a child on the street who was pregnant herself and we gave her and her fiance a place to stay so they could get back on their feet. What was supposed to be a couple of weeks turned into about a year, and it was a year of many trials for all of us. When they moved in things started to disappear and we called emergency about five times, which was more than we had ever done in our entire 12 years of living here. One day we came home to find out that her husband had pushed her down while she was pregnant, we were broken into a couple of times while I was home with her, and then Joshua Devon Kroll, Jr., JD for short, was born on February 15th. My family was the only real source of guidance for her throughout her life and she named me JD’s godmother. Jolene wasn’t religious in any way, she grew up in a Bible-belt church and broke away from that when she got pregnant, so when I asked her if she was going to have him baptized, she said they’d wait until later like she was. JD was an amazing baby. he hardly fussed and he slept through the night almost as soon as he came home from the hospital. Then it was April 2005. I was in the drama program at my school and we did two shows at the end of the spring semester, I had been lucky enough to get a large role in the production of Pride and Prejudice. Friday the 15th I had been out until about 11, after the show we cleaned up a bit for the next night and then I went home to sleep. I woke up the next morning to Jolene screaming, at first I thought that her husband had done something to her, but then I heard him screaming about JD. I rushed out of my room and found Jolene and my mom trying to resuscitate my godson. I was put on the phone with the 911 operator and was instantly numb as I waited for the EMS unit to come out to the house. JD was exactly two months and one day old when God took him home, and even though he wasn’t baptized I think that he is still sitting at God’s foot waiting looking down on us here.

JD, you are still missed and loved by your mom and by me. One day we’ll dance again.
Love and best wishes,
Your Godmother
 
My heart goes out to you both.The God of compassion will cherish this child so much.Be of good cheer you will meet again.
 
Please Pray For Enrique who passed away yesterday, May 17th, 2009.
Requested by Daniela Munarolo, who was his friend and treated as a Daughter
as he was loved as her own Father.
 
I’ve been here before and for some reason, I think God brought me here unexpectedly tonight - during a continuously low time in my life. Missing my Mama, who was my life, my everything (though I didn’t realize) - and surprisingly, my Dad, though not as much a part of my life, now missed, too. Mama did it all, raising me alone, but I never realized the greatest gift - was that she was always HERE for me. And now that I’m alone, and without her - my rock - I’m broken. And I don’t know where she is.

***Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Thy Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls.
My Jesus, Pardon and Mercy, through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

Eternal rest grant unto them, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.***
 
I have not posted here for quite some time. Life has been busy, my dad died one month ago and today the Abbey community that I’m affiliated to as a discerning Oblate are burying one of their Sr’s.

So for Dad and for Sr Paula ~ may peace and joy be yours eternal…and from today’s Office of the Dead…

“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin. Thanks be to God for he has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, alleluia. Having the spirit of faith, we believe that he who raised up Jesus will also raise us up along with Jesus. Thanks be to God.”

May God be with us all.

Amen xx:signofcross:
 
I’d like to add my husband and son to your memorials.
My husband, Jim, died 6 years ago on May 18 at the young age of 59 from a lung disease.
My son, Paul, died 11 months ago on June 27 at the young age of 40 from a heart malfunction. I still have my parents, 88 & 85, my mother-in-law 87, and aunt, 84, but I’ve lost two of my most beloved.

Recently I lost my nephew’s wife and daughter. They were killed in a car accident. Their little Alice would have been 3 just a couple days after the accident. These two deaths really struck a blow to the family.

When the Lord says to be ready, you never know your time, He was loving us in telling us to be prepared. Even though our goal is to be with Him in heaven, it is so hard to let go of those that you loved so very much. They leave a very big hole in your heart that takes so long to mend.
 
For a senior at our school who committed suicide recently, and for a student who graduated last year and died of cancer shortly afterward.
 
May god in his goodness have mercy on their souls and console their families.
 
Lord, I pray that you forgive my father of all of his sins. I lift up to you his soul o God, welcome him in your kingdom. Have mercy on him Lord.
 
For my Nana Mc and Granda Mc, my Nana Walsh and Granda Walsh…my Uncle Johnny, Uncle Gary, BIL Ken, A. Kathleen, A.COLETTE ( fabulous woman XX Thank you ) and My lovely A.Joan…X Aunty Mollie, Uncle Dinny, U. Paddy and so many others…who have passed on…

Be with my Da now please…! and either give him strength through Jesus, or welcome him home and give him the biggest kiss from me…
 
This note is to remember my mom, who passed away only a few days ago.
Her person I compare to a clear, sunny morning, full of promise,of enthusiasm, of happy expectations .Her long life was a gift to us ,her three children.She was 98 years old. I hope she is enjoying our Lord’s presence.Love you, mother.Tam

RE: Donald Bertman

My father Donald bertman was a true man of God. He was in WWII as a photographer for the 16th Photographic Squadron. He was very dedicated and did whatever he could to help those less fortunate.After my mom died of lou gehgrigs disease he had my brother who was a heroin addict for years to take care of. I was on my own at 17 but I knew that one day dad and I would make up and I loved him so much. Children just don’t realize what their parents have done for their children till they are grown really. Dad loved to help out and won numerous awards for his giving to the community. You get him on the web and see he counted for a lot of what happened at the nursing homes. The blue plains for one and then he was at the health care institute. I would love to have him remembered if possible if you give to those who served the country and did humanitarian things. He died from lung cancer October, 2008. I miss him every single day and in some way I wanted to have him remembered by you sir Our President. How fitting would it be to have the American flag which I have next to his picture at home and to know that he meant something to so many people. He cared and did whatever he could. He denied himself so that he could give to others. My brother died on Memorial Day 2003 from his addiction he tried but could not get hold of himself in time. I know he and dad both tried their best. I wanted my father to be remember for his great works. I ask nothing for myself than a certificate for my fathers memory. He will always be in my home and in my heart forever. He was buried on All Saints day How fitting for this man who loved so many. He died at 88 and 88 people signed his memorial book. I am so glad to have known what my father did to try and pass along to those who may not have known dad. I am so appreciative of your taking the time to read my email sir if you can. To acknowledge my father with a certificate from you would be the best and would be a memento for all time. I know you are busy sir but if you could do this it would put me to rest as well as knowing the best president of this united states cared enough for everyone to send this for my father who did so much. He gave even at the time he was sick 13,000 to charities in 2008 even though he died in October. He never ever complained and to have this would be a true tribute for he did so much. I know you did not know dad but Donald bertman would do anything for you and knew that he cared for the young and well as the very old. Peace be with you sir and I appreciate your time. Laurel Larison ( with my sincere gratitude for your doing what you do every day for all Americans. )

It seems that deaths are coming in two’s for me. And, if not for threads like this - some souls might get fewer prayers.

My parents died six months apart. After alot of family “issues”, I have had little to no contact with cousins, etc. I have just learned that I’ve lost two cousins - my mother’s nephews. These two brothers died early this year - about a month apart (January & February). No one notified me. I just heard about it this week. That means no Masses, as well as my looking remiss in sending condolences.

I ask for your prayers for these two men - the repose of their souls, that of my parents - and those of all the Faithful Departed, especially those most in need or who have no one to pray for them.

***Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Thy dearly beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Eternal Father, I offer the Wounds of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls. My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.***
