The Time Has Come....Please Read ~

[Kindredspirit]

Hey Guys ~ I rec'vd a call from Kenny earlier today and his Mother passed away around 4:30 this morning ~ I came home from work to post this thread per his request ~

Kenny wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the well wishes, prayers and thoughts that were extended to him and his family during the time his Mother was ill~

It has been a very long three years for Kenny and his family ~ Today was also his Mother's birthday ~ I told him that I thought that meant something...something good ~ we may not see the meaning God has put forth for her passing on this day ~ but he will see it ~

Kenny also has asked that to give him some healing time and hopefully within a week he will be back to us ~ those of you with orders pending or waiting additional info ....please be patient ~

It may be best to send emails at this time if we must and if we could limit phone calls for now ~ it would be much appreciated ~ the family has gathered and needs some personal time ~

Again ~ Kenny thanks you all from the bottom of his heart ~


Marie ~ :angel:

Kenny my friend, I grieve with you and your family at this sad time in your lives.
Remember that she will always be as close as your heart, and your memories.

Allow consolation from family and friends, and know that your mom will be close to you every day.

I don't think a person could Love someone anymore than Kenny has loved his mother... I know he spent every moment he could with her and in the last weeks even when he was online here...he was by her side on his laptop watching over her like an angel. The last few weeks have been very hard on him and his family.

Kenny,
I know the hurt you and your family feel now is terrible, but I hope in time it is replaced by the memories of all the good times You had with your Mom. Know that you have friends here when you need them.. Call me anytime if you need one of them. You and your family are in my thoughts.

take care,
al

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my Mother 8 years ago. I know the pain you feel. Rite now the pain is bigger than you but every day it gets a little better and then the day comes when you are bigger than the pain. You are in my prayers my friend.
Earl

[Dying for Discus]

Terribly sorry about your loss, Kenny. I do not know you very well as I am new but I know the pain of losing a mother.

All I can offer are my words. The pain will pass and flow into joyous memories. Slowly, but surely, the knowledge that you will be reunited with her on silver shores under a forever gentle spring sun will manifest. And until that day when the gates open she will bless you with the gentle wind on your face and the beauty of the universe around you.

God bless.

[tpl*co]

Kenny, my sincere condolences on your mother, she was very blessed to have a son like you.

[White Worm]

I borrowed some of this and wrote some of this myself for my Nan who passed away last year and I share it with kenny for his mother.

Don't grieve for me now, I’m Free,
I am following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at close of day.
If My parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered Joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
ah yes these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much:
Good times, good friends, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief:
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now,
He set me Free.



For Kenny's Wonderful Mother.......

If there are flowers in heaven, please pick the most beautiful bouquet,
place them in her arms and tell her they are from me.
When she turns to smile and look down upon me, whisper in her ear that I love and miss her
and give her a kiss on the cheek for all to see.
Please take my mom in your arms forever now and protect her for all eternity.

[Ronald]

My sincere condolences, Kenny.

I spoke with Kenny and he is well aware of all the well wishes, gifts, etc and he is so grateful to everyone here that words cannot express it. Whoever knows Kenny, realizes what a genuinely nice person he is. He will still need some time to himself and will return to his simply family soon. When he returns, I'm sure he will update this thread and thank everyone individually like he does with all his posts and threads. No matter how you prepare for loss, its just never enough. We will be here when you are ready my friend. Let me know if you need anything. Michael

[Kenny's Discus]

Dear Simply friends,

Allow me to express my greatest thanks for all the well wishes, flowers & prayers extended to me & my family during this difficult time. You have no idea how much that meant to me and thank you all again. As I told Marie the other day, my mom passed away peacefully last Sun morning at home with the whole family surrounding her at her bedside. It's a weird feeling knowing that on one side mom is no longer with us but on the other, I know she will not be having any more pain that had plagued her for yrs. Although it's not like I had any say as to whether mom should stay or leave; but given the torture I've seen mom got from her cancer I would not be selfish to hold mom on this earth under such discomfort...yes I have to say that I've learned to "let go" during this last few weeks...

I think the most important thing that this 3-yr journey of ours taught us was to live life to the fullest and ALWAYS love your families...I have absolutely no regret or complaints about any moment that I've spent with mom and I feel that she is now finally in God's hands.

I love you Mom forever and you'll be forever in my heart. Thank you for giving me my life and raising me all these years. Keep smiling as always mom.

Most sincerely,
Kenny

[April]
