Today after a year long fight with ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease ) we must sadly say good bye to my father inlaw. I could write a book on all the loving things he did for all of us. He lived a good honest life and had a deep caring for everyone. He was my biggest supporter of starting All Moments Remembered. He has encouraged me the whole way. I will continue running this business with my heart but also in honor of him.
God looked around his garden and found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around youand lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautifulhe always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb
so he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine,"
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
Thomas Kinkade
I will miss you forever Tom!!! We all so love you! Good bye until we meet again...

That is a wonderful poem. May he always be in your heart and mind. May you find peace and quiet in your grief.
Thinking of you.
Perfect tribute to a special man. Hugs to you and your family.
Hi Stacey,
I'm so sorry you are having to feel such grief. But being a lady of faith, you know you WILL see each other again in Heaven.
God Bless you and your family.

What a wonderful tribute for a wonderful father/friend....knowing that he will be in such a wonderful environment is a relief to you also, I know you dont realize that now, because you are missing him physically, but spiritually he will always be with you...no one can take away the wonderful memories you have of him and shared so much with him...just think, next time you see a beautiful flower bloom or a whisper of wind on you cheek, know that he is with you and still loves and cares for you...and for your husband especially...I know your children are going to miss him and they understand his going away better then adults sometimes, but they still need the love and comfort of their parents...Jo
{{hugs}} for you today Stacey...
