Dear Friends of Harbour Lights, again I am asking for your prayers for not only myself and my family but also my mother. On January 25th 2000 God has asked me to carry another cross...my father, a USN sailor for 26 years was called home by his heavenly captain. His death was very shocking, I had just spoken to him the saturday before his passing and he told me his cardiologist had given him a clean bill of health. I called him to thank him for a beautiful wooden painted replica of Montauk Point he had sent me. We were talking about making more such beauties for the upcoming reunion. I will miss him dearly, he always loved to give big bear hugs when he saw you and they will be dearly missed. My mother is taking his death very hard and so I most especially ask that you keep her in your prayers....her name is Mary Williams and my fathers name was John Williams. Thankyou all so much for being the supportive group you are. I just got back from Virginia, which is where they lived and guess what Larry did...took me lighthouse shopping...thanks hon, I really needed that.
Sincerely Kat Waterson
KAT {=*+*=}

Kat,
MJ & I will have you, Larry, your Mom and the girls in our thoughts and prayers. It is never easy to lose a loved one and especially when it is unexpected.
I will be visiting Avery Point today, at the mouth of the Thames River here in Groton, CT (home to the submarine base & where you lived when your Dad was stationed here). I will be able to see New London Ledge & New London Harbor lighthouses, past which your Dad sailed many times while serving onboard submarines in the US Navy. I will say a special prayer for John Williams.

Kat,
I don't know if you remember reading here on the Forum that my dad passed away in August. I have found myself doing a lot of remembering. And those memories really seem to ease the feeling of loss quite a bit; more so as time goes on.
And my mother, both grandmothers, grandfather and step-mother very suddenly and unexpectedly passed away over just the past few years. My one Grandma was my absolute best friend. Of course, I loved them all. One thing I can tell you is that time does heal the hurt a little more with each day.
Christmas was a little tough this year. But I found myself at the Christmas dinner table with what little is left of my family, with grandma's, mom's and my step-mom's recipes on the table on my grandmother's china looking at one of daddy's and grandpa's favorite meals. My brother asked me to offer the prayer and I surprised myself when I said a prayer of thanks thanking the Lord for blessing us all with the man that my father was.
We will pray that the Lord ministers to you and your family during this really difficult time.
Karen & Michael
