My Best Friend

It is at a time like this that we find comfort from the prayers, calls, blog and e-mail comments and visits from family and friends. I cannot thank you enough for all the love and kindness that you have been showing to us. Words are difficult to find now since I am going through the worst day of my life. Please continue to pray fervently for Dwight. Most medical interventions have been performed on him, so now it is completely in God's hands. Dwight and I have been married almost 41 years and have so many plans for the future. I cannot imagine life without him, so please continue to pray! Thank you!

    We are in constant prayer for you - for strength and the "peace that passeth understanding" and we continue to pray for a miracle for Dwight. Doris and many people at Fairhaven are upholding all of you in prayer as well.

  6. Sam means so much to so many people. He's touched all of our lives, and we're all better for having known him. That's a huge stockpile of karma pulling for him. Sam's got a huge extended family, and we're all praying for him.

  10. Dear Sue, Christine and Barbara,

    We read of Dwight's condition on the North Park Covenant Church Prayer Chain on our return from Vermont. We were shocked and saddened by this news. You all continue in our thoughts and prayers. Chuck and Jan

  12. Dear Sue,
    It is so hard to know what to say at a time like this. So I always try to think of what Clara would have said. She was the wisest woman with the greatest faith. She would always say "Through him many things are possible". I always said that she had a direct line to God, for if Clara prayed it, it was answered. I know that Clara is looking down now and she wishes she could fix this for you. Because that is what a Mother is supposed to do. But I think now she is saying "Trust God and have Faith" We all know that sometimes the harder the road the harder it is to hold on to our faith, but these are the times we must hold on even tighter and don't let go. Remember we love all of you and so does God and he won't let go either.
    Everyone that Jane and I know in Rockford are praying for all of you.
    God bless you all
    Love
    Linda

  14. May I add my humble prayers to the many hundreds being offered for Dwight. Having been in your shoes several times I know the only thing that sustains us is our faith and the many friends and loved ones who pull ranks around us. God bless and keep you in his care and reach a healing hand on Dwight.

  15. Dear Sue,
    Our hearts are crying to the Lord on behalf of Dwight and you. We pray that God would heal Dwight. We pray that God will wrap You in His tender love right now and hold you up as He walks with you through this trial. "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Rom. 15:13
    We love you, Phyllis & Jerry

  17. Susan,
    My friendship with you and Dwight goes back nearly 60 years. I have been in such shock thinking that one of my closest friends throughout my youth - who I shared so many wonderful adventures with - is in such a serious medical condition. My prayer is that God's mighty healing hand will fall upon Dwight today AND that His peace, which truly passes all our understanding, will fall and rest upon you, Christina, and Barbara. May Jesus be your closest friend hour by hour and may God be your sovereign strength. (Habakkuk 3:19)
    In Christ's Love,
    Bob
