Many of you will recognize the names of Michael and Karen Power who are regulars on these forums.

Many months ago, she had some Harbour Lights she was selling and I emailed her asking why she was selling.

One email led to many after finding out that her Father was not well, had suffered a stroke, had difficulty speaking, and had come to live with them.

They were long messages and a sharing of ideas. One I made was to get her Dad on-line. He could be involved in hobbies without anyone knowing his speech was impared.

Friday I received an email from her saying her Dad had passed away early that morning.

Quote:
"I thought you would also want to know that my father passed away early this
morning. We take great comfort in know he is with his Lord. He is probably making up for lost time and talking up a storm. And he is with his two beautiful wives."


Michael & Karen Power live in Thomasville Pennsylvania and the funeral was in Dayton OH.

May God comfort them in their loss, and rejoice with them as Dad's handicaps fell away as he left this earth.

Michael and Karen: Am so sorry to hear of your father's passing, Karen. We only get one Dad and it's hard to lose him, no matter how old or how sick they've been. He may be gone from this life but will remain in your hearts forever.

Kim's and my heart and prayers go out to you in your loss. I lost my Dad, my best friend, a number of years ago. I know your Dad, like mine, has passed beyond the woes and cares of earthly life and finally escaped the bonds of illness and the infirmities of advancing age. My pain of loss subsided over time but there's not a day that goes by I don't think of him fondly.

Karen and Mike,

Sorry to hear of the passing of father.

I remeber when my Mom died a few years ago and how empty I felt. It's tough when a parent leaves.

Now when I think of her I smile at all the crazy things she used to do.

My prayers are with you.

I lost both my parents within 1 1/2 years of each other. It's not easy to go through at all. My thoughts are with you.

You Folks are Wonderful!

We just got home from a very long drive after a very long week. We were so uplifted when we tuned into the Forum and saw all of your wonderful messages.

The most wonderful thing I can report is that your prayers that you offered up for us must have been answered. A lot happened with family and friends and a lot of old wounds were healed and lot of old contacts were re-established while we were in Ohio.



We come back home, knowing that Daddy is happy and at peace and with full hearts from the love and caring we have received this week from so many people. Thank you all so much.

The house still feels kind of empty. My dad was the fifth member of my immediate family that I have lost in the past 7 years. I do have the great joy in knowing that all five of them are together in heaven.

Love and peace to you All,

Karen and Michael
