John, I am so very sorry to hear about Jill.  Years past we talked of our daughters who share a name...may you be comforted by the many loving and caring thoughts of your friends.  Words seem so in adequate, but may our God hold you close in His loving arms and provide comfort and a peaceful spirit.

John and Dru, I commit to you my daily prayer to our Heavenly Father to give you His peace that only He can give you that surpasses all understanding. I am only a phone call away. May the love of your family and friends give you a little comfort at this time.

John, I cannot fathom your loss or the crushing grief confronting you and your wife.  Words fail me...I am a parent also.

John: So sorry to learn about the loss of your daughter. My daughter just lost her husband to liver/kidney failure this December. This was a message from a friend of hers. I though it might give you some comfort. I hope so. Here it is......"I could tell you to be strong-I could tell you that it will get easier in time-I could tell you that he is in a better place but I won't tell you any of those things. What I will tell you is that life gives us good times and bad times... as well as family and friends to share both. This is one of those bad times but you aren't going to go through any of this alone-lots of people are going to be there for you. So, "one day at a time" is all you have to handle. Don't worry about tomorrow just take care of today.

John,
We are so sorry.  We have four children, and one of them has some similar problems, so I can sympathize with your sense of expectancy.  Esther and I will pray that you and your lovely wife will be comforted.

John, any counselor will tell you the loss of a child is the worst of all human pain. Jill was a beautiful, fragile soul. My heart goes out to those who loved her. I wish I could make you feel even 1% better, but I know I don't have that kind of power. Only time and loving memories can ease your pain.

John, my prayers are with you and your family.  I understand your pain, as I also lost a daughter when she was 18yrs old.  May God comfort you and give you peace.

Oh John.  I am so sorry for your loss.  She was such a beautiful young woman. Mental illness is such a struggle.   God bless you and your family during this very sad time.  As those before me have said...I am here.

I don't really know where to begin this post. Usually, I have something humorous to share. Today I come to you asking for a little prayer for the soul of my 27 yr. old daughter Jill. Some of you know that for nearly ten years she's struggled with depression, drug addiction, and mental illness.
 
Late last night I got a phone call from her uncle. He told me Jill had taken her own life yesterday evening in Houston. It was a call I had expected for nearly four years - but it still hit hard when it arrived.
 
I imagine we will have a private family farewell for her. Not sure yet about the details. There are tears aplenty for a young life that once offered so much promise.

It is also very cold and iced over here in Pottsboro and being couped up with two teenagers and two dogs is truly testing the strength of my heart!! No school since Monday and out again tomorrow. We have such steep hills here the streets are better everywhere else while we are still iced over. Think I may look into living in Florida. The news today said the Houston area is about to get hit with the snow. Hope everyone is warm and safe.

The icemaker isn't working, making me think a pipe in the attic is frozen.  Oh, noooooooo.

So much for the old adage about the mail always getting through regardless of weather - no mail delivery yesterday and probably only 3 cars on the street all day long. Today will be another ice day lock-in - glad I'm retired but not looking forward to paying the electric bill. The central heat has been running non-stop since yesterday!

Hope all you folks in the frozen tundra stay safe and warm. It's a balmy 35 here in the Houston area. Chili and Margarita time!

We're not "iced in" but it is plenty cold here. I was reading today where The Woodlands and Cairo both are located on the same global latitude line (30 degrees north of the equator). I'll bet it's warmer in Cairo, although I'm not anxious to travel there.
 
Looking ahead to Groundhog Day makes me think of our young grandson. On the "short list" of baby names for him was Ernest and Punxsutawney. Lucky for him his folks settled on calling him Reid.

Is everybody iced in? There hasn't been a single car go down our street today. We have had a lot of friends call us and the dogs keep looking out the window barking at NOTHING. I guess they are hoping one of our neighbors will take their dog for a walk.
