sadness

I would be remiss if I did not post the sadness in my heart today, over the loss of my cousin Rick, the gentle giant of the Campbell family. He passed away early Sunday morning after fighting a sudden combination of critical health conditions that his body could no longer battle... leaving his family shocked and heartbroken. He is pictured here with his beautiful wife Becky, and their 6th grandbaby Kaitlin. My heart is aching for Becky, all their children, and their grandchildren. I feel an awful sadness for my aunt and uncle, who are absolutely devastated. I feel sorrow for my cousins - which includes my precious Shell - who just lost their oldest brother.

Rick, you will always be in our hearts
I don't know why these things happen when they do. I do know that we will have the answers someday. It seems to take a lot of faith - and a lot of heartache - in the meantime. I pray with all my heart, that the Campbell family will be comforted at this time of loss and sorrow.

  5. Love and thanks to all of you my dear friends, for your kind and thoughtful prayers and words of love :) You fill my heart with warmth.

    I am fine, I really am - just hurting for my cousin Rick's sweet wife Becky and their children and grandchildren... knowing it is always hardest on the loved ones left behind. And for my heartbroken aunt and uncle who are so devastated losing their oldest child... I am so sad for them.

    So please keep them in your prayers - they are in such need of comfort at this time. Thanks to all of you for your love :)
