Continued prayers may the Lord comfort Michaels friends and family. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-224082 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:39:27 +0000 anncetera2 224082@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm doing okay; I'm more concerned about his widow, Ginger. I still don't know when the memorial service will be, but I'd anticipate 100-200 people will likely attend; possibly more, if it's held this weekend. This Friday, I'll be able to get a houseplant or flower arrangement to Ginger. Or perhaps I could get a gift card to a large local nursery, toward purchase of a tree in the springtime (along with my offer to plant it for her, wherever she'd like). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-223934 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:10:42 +0000 SoxsMom 223934@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ann how are you doing tonight?

Then I looked for a wonderful update. The update that I had prayed for didn't happen. I wish more than anything I had words that would help--I'm sorry is very inadequate but all I have. My prayers are for you and Michael's family as they deal with the terrible grief that comes with losing someone you love. I am so very sorry Ann for your loss. Please know that you are loved--Michael loved you as a dear friend and that will never end. Until you meet again please take comfort in the thought he is in no pain. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-223101 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:35:45 +0000 Tigerlilly 223101@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So sad to read of this terrible news....a warm embrace across the miles is all I can offer as there are never enough words that will otherwise truly comfort the soul. Peace and comfort to his beloved family. Such terrible life events can never be fully understood. All I can imagine is that he was desperately needed elsewhere. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-223092 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:31:04 +0000 anncetera2 223092@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you all so much. And yes, that's exactly why I plant some trees; I remember the person and their wonderful attributes whenever I look at the tree. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-222921 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:37:55 +0000 jcat 222921@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so sorry, Ann. You and Michael and his family are in my thoughts. Planting trees for loved ones is a lovely thing to do, I think, and when you look at them, you remember what a blessing they were. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-222855 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:45:59 +0000 anncetera2 222855@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-222840 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:41:29 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 222840@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>anncetera, bless you for being the caring friend of Michael and his family, bless Michael and his passing which I hope was peaceful for him, prayers and best wishes for his family in the time before them and loads of prayers with the acceptance of his passing to a place where there is no pain and knowing that he will be watching over them. {{{hugs}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-222829 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:33:13 +0000 anncetera2 222829@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you.

I don't usually sit around and cry, but it seems like the thing to do this evening. That, and maybe plant in and water a couple of trees. There is something about planting trees that helps sooth my soul, and I need some of that tonight. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294/page/2#post-222796 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:58:21 +0000 2 Popoki 222796@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am so so sorry Ann. I do understand your pain and your grief. You are right... there just are no words. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294#post-222790 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:52:25 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 222790@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so sorry about your friend, and I wish his family and friends find peace sooner rather than later. </p> <p>I don't know how heaven and the Rainbow Bridge are attached, but neither one would be a good place to be without the other. So, Michael is with all of his family that went before him, and he is also rejoicing in seeing all his past pets as well as greetings from all of our furbabies. </p> <p>He's in good hands now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294#post-222778 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:43:39 +0000 anncetera2 222778@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Emma, your words bring me comfort. Michael passed today at 2:15 pm.</p> <p>There are not sufficient expletives to describe my pointless rage against the inevitable. There are not enough words in my thesaurus to express my grief. The only good part is that his suffering was shorter, rather than longer. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294#post-213375 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:43:24 +0000 2bpurring 213375@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Emma, I can't say more than you have put..Ann, my prayers with be with Michael and his family and dear friends like you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8294#post-213372 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:40:47 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 213372@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Emma, thank you for sharing your thoughts at this difficult time. My son-in-law is battling brain cancer too and has been for over a year. Prognosis is not good but we can still take small trips and excursions and we treasure each and every one of them. Your words made me feel very good today, Emma. ... Anncetera, we will pray for your family and Michael and Ginger's family. Peace my friend. </p>
