Fathers Death

Posted by todd at 4:49 PM on August 28, 2006

I was informed this morning that my father died in an automobile accident. My family and I am leaving Honolulu for Michigan this afternoon. My connectivity will be spotty at best and I will likely be very consumed over the next week with the details. One of my Niece’s was with him and she is not doing well either so prayers for her are appreciated. Regardless my cell will be best way to contact me at 808-741-4923

My dad was a hard worker and great father he would not want me to halt everything so I will connect when I can

My prayers will go out to you and your family tonight. I’m SO sorry to hear about this awful loss. It is never good to lose someone who you are so close to, but to lose him in this way makes it even harder. Good luck getting through this and know that my wife and I will be praying for all of you.

God Bless,

I came to the site as soon as I heard the message on the podcast feed. I am so sorry for your loss and I will be praying for your family. Don’t worry about the site or podcast, I am sure that there are many people including myself who would be willing to help out where it’s needed.

My prayers are with your family and with the neice who was in the car that she may have a speedy recovery.

Todd,

No one ever is prepared for the loss of a family member even if due to a long illness,

To lose someone close so unexpectedly as you have must be doubly difficult.

Our thoughts, prayers go out to you, your niece and condolences to your family.

Loss like this just can’t be easy. It is scary how fast life can be taken from this world.

Todd,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your father’s passing away. As always, He (the one upstairs) chooses to do as He pleases and we are left to wonder why. I am praying for your niece and am hoping she will pull through. Having lost near and dear ones in the recent past I can understand. But I am sure your pain and grief is unbearable. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and yours.
From LAFD at 8:31 pm on August 31, 2006
Todd:

I am so very saddened to learn of your Father’s passing. He remains with you however, in more ways than you might imagine. He exists in the sunlit mornings and moon-filled nights. He is in the Autumn leaves that crunch softly beneath your feet, and the wind of Spring that makes the clouds dance against a deep blue sky. He is the magic of laughter, and the embrace of compassion. He is forever the sparkle in your eyes, and his voice albeit softer, is now and forever more easily understood and empowering.

May God Bless you and your family as he has blessed us all with your Father’s all to brief presence, and may the good Lord watch over your neice’s swift and complete recovery.

If your flight(s) should happen to layover in Los Angeles, please do not hesitate to contact our office (213) 485-5162, so that we might offer you and your family some manner of support in your time of need.

Sincerely,
