[> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: CZ to PJ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:55:03 12/11/12 Tue PJ, It has been a while I do not post with you. I hope you remember me. I would like to send my deepest condolences to RAT and his family. Posting with you guys we learn a lot about you and I can tell RAT had a great dad. RAT is a great kid, and a very clever one. I hope GOD can provide comfort for him and his family. And I am sure you, Caleb and all the "herd" will be with him in this difficult times. I will be praying for him.

[> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: Rat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:36:46 12/12/12 Wed I suppose this is as good a place as any to post some comments. I will write in more detail in a few days. I have run every emotion known to man since Saturday evening. Right now I am at the numb stage. Mom is doing well. Bethany had a hard time but is doing better. Fortunately Mike and Matt are still a bit too young to totally understand what is going on. I am just sad that they and my future children will not get to know Dad as a wonderful grandfather. I have a wonderful circle of friends here in my life. In fact, Dad's death has affected them as much as me. Besides the friends I can physically see and touch, I have also realized I have a strong cyber community of friends. So many of you have reached out with words of kindness and comfort and I appreciate it. Dad's funeral is this afternoon. I felt strongly that I should preach the eulogy. Dad was supportive of my desire to serve in a position of ministry and I also want to be the one to honor his memory. My goal is to make it through the service without bawling my head off. Thanks again to all of you who have sent expressions of kindness, sympathy and support! I am not sure when I will be back but I have not forgotten you all. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: CZ to RAT [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:29:19 12/15/12 Sat RAT, I didnīt address you directly my condolences because I didnīt know if you would come to this Forum, so I asked PJ to do it for me. I am very sorry for you great loss, and I although still have both parents, I can imagine how it is the loss of someone so close and dear to us. Your dad was still a young man and I know you could have him for a long time, but it was GODīs will. You must always keep in mind the great moments you had with him, the great dad he was. I still remember when you were mowing a lawn for an old woman and you broke something in her garden and she wanted to overprice it to make you pay. Your dad went there and fixed the things for you. In that ocasion you suspected your dad payed it and you were curious if he did. I told you to not to ask him but just imagine the good dad he was. I am sure he did his best to protect his son. You and your family will be on my prayers. GOD bless you. CZ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: Tanner [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:47:42 12/12/12 Wed Rat and PJ, I hope you remember me from the old forum, I miss talking to you both. Rat, like everyone else I was saddened to hear of your dad's passing, I sure it must be hard for you. All I can say is that at times like this is: keep your faith - it will get you through. Take care my friend, I will pray for you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: Mark Athlete to Rat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:29:49 12/14/12 Fri Rat, Hope you remember me too from the old forum? I was informed that your dad passed away this week. I am so very sorry to hear that happened and I would like to send my deepest sympathy to you, your Mom and rest of your family. This is unreal! I know how close you was to your dad and the many times you talked about him and other members of your family when we talked. You, your Mom and family are in my prayers. As Tanner mentioned, 'keep your faith and it will get you through.' Blessings to You, your Mom and family this holiday season and look to God and His Son Jesus who was born on Christmas Day. Deepest Sympathy, Mark Athlete [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Very sad news Author: Drew to Rat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:38:50 12/17/12 Mon Rat, Mark (Athlete) told me that PJ's dad left a message for any of us from the old forum to let us know that your great dad passed away. That is really, really shocking to hear! I am truly sorry to hear about this. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to you buddy, and also especially to your Mom and Sister. Would you please let them know for me? I know it's hard now, and it's not fair to have this happen but, look to God in prayer and also you will always have some great memories of your dad to last you a lifetime. Take care of yourself, your mom and sister. You all are in my prayers. God Bless You, Drew! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
