Singing in heaven...

Hello my friends! Lyle went to be with the Lord this morning just before 2am. He was surrounded by many of us who love him deeply and he went calmly while asleep. I will miss his presence in our home, when I sing in choir at the church, and when I have something I want to just bounce off of him. We met 7 years ago today! It's just like Lyle to acknowledge this day is some significant way as he has the other 6 years of our relationship. We have been so blessed to be given the gift of true love that only the Father in heaven could give. It has been my honor to care for him during this time of illness and it makes my tail wag to think of the time I will play with him again!

Thank you all for you many prayers and encouragement along this journey. I will continue to pray for all of you and hope that you, too, can find peace, joy, and strength no matter the outcome of your journey. All things are in God's timing...no matter what we do! I'm so glad that He was in charge this whole time!!

Love to all,
Susie

    My Many Heartfelt Sympathies
    Hi Dear Susie
    God bless you now at this difficult time. God bless Lyle as he enters the Kingdom of God. It has been a long and very hard journey. You both did your best to fight this disease. I am so glad to hear that he was at peace when he passed. My dad was as well. May you find peace in knowing that Lyle is now in a much better place. He is no longer suffering or in pain. It is wonderful that he was surrounded with family and friends. We will see our love ones again, and there we can spend eternity together forever! Please keep in touch, let us know how you are doing. You can help a lot of new people here on this site with your experience and knowledge.

    Hi Susie!

    I was so sad to read your post, both sad and content at the same time. I don't post often on the site, but I have read your posts all along. Your faith has kept you strong, and I know that you will keep all the wonderful memories of happy times to continue giving you strength at this trying time. You and Lyle seemed to be the perfect couple. I am sure he was sad to leave you, but happy for what lies ahead for him, freedom from pain and suffering and joy in the forever after. I know that you will always treasure and love what you enjoyed with him. You were given the time you had together as a wonderful gift, a gift that will go on forever, no matter the future. May you take great comfort in the thought that he is no longer in pain and now at peace.

    Regards and best always,
