The Stanley Brothers - Angel Band

The latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is begun
O come Angel Band, come & around me stand
O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home
O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home
I know I'm near the holy ranks of friends & kindred dear
I've brushed the dew on Jordan's banks, the crossing must be near
I've almost gained my Heavenly home, my spirit loudly sings
The Holy ones, behold they come, I hear the noise of wings
O bear my longing heart to Him who bled & died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin & gives me victory

     

Elaine, Morgan Elaine Kennedy's triumph has begun with the Angel Band standing around her now. When you and your family think of her gone, think of her more, as the song says, taken to her immortal home on snowy wings. My love and deep sympathy are forever with you and your family.

Elaine, I am at a loss as to what to say.   Losing a cherished love one is hard enough and to have it happen this way makes it even harder to understand.

God needed an extra special angel at his side to help take care of someone, and that is why he chose your sweet granddaughter.

Please extend my condolences to your entire family Elaine.  And an extra special prayer will be said here for all of you in your time of need.

May God bless and keep you in your time of grief,
Love EDNA

This kind of thing makes me mad. No one said that life was going to be easy but ours is to wonder why it must so often be so hard.

I wish we could prop you up better. Check in here though. We'll be waiting.

Elaine,

I'm so sorry i wasn't around last night and i know my cheesy email i dashed off to you wasn't much.

Please know that we are all standing strong beside you thru this sorrow your family now faces.  

Lean on us however you need to and print out Ted's post.  Carry that one around with you - he's said so well what is in the rest of our hearts right now.

As I told you last night, we can't argue with God's plan.  We just have to go on.  

Hang in there, TS - I know you can.

Elaine,

It seems that God has bigger and better plans for your granddaughter.....he needs a set of "little" wings to assist him in His great plan.  Know that she will not go without until you see her again.

Your family is in our thoughts prayers.....

If you need anything call on us - we are there for you always....

Post by kim on Oct 25th, 2002, 3:03pm
Elaine,

Over and over sometimes I tell myself in tough times that God has a plan, or in thought i "turn it over to god" and sometimes it has helped me connect.  Sometimes it has failed and anger and pain takes over - there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason - no anchor to grip when you are sinking and so desperate for it.

There are people who I have lost and cannot articulate to you the meaning these people have to me.  But I believe that you know....Sadness and loss will always be there.  But I truly pray that one day you will be able to meet this youngin in your heart and the two of you will share a smile and believe in the hope of the morrow.

It comes in it's own time.  It rises out of every part of YOU Elaine.  And it is Fine.  So, I send you a wish and a prayer....our loved ones that pass are not gone - they are simply  are waiting to offer a warm embrace from a place we do not know..........but only when we are ready.

After all is said and done, there are many hands holding yours. :)

Hold on.

Very sad to hear your news, Elaine.

The death of a child is very hard to come to terms with.

Post by Jabeen on Oct 29th, 2002, 3:42pm
As many others have said, I haven't met you either-however I did lose a child. There is nothing worse in life-but when I lost my son, my parents took it very hard. As a parent, you never want your children to hurt like that.
I do not have grandchildren yet, but I can't imagine having to go through that. My son is 26 today-my children are the center of my universe..I pray to God they never have to experience that loss.  They will be in my prayers...so sorry.

Post by oringkid on Oct 30th, 2002, 4:56pm
Elaine, I would have just emailed you with this but I haven't received any replies from my previous emails to you...so I am going to risk this.

When I said previously that I could not say what is in my heart it was because I was afraid that you would take it wrong or that someone else would take it wrong.

I know that you believe in God.  I believe in other things, but in this case perhaps they go together.

First, understand that I have a mentally retarded and physically handicapped daughter.  But, she functions fairly well and understands alot.  Her problems reside in reading, writing, math, time etc.  Mostly abstracts.  She cannot run or climb but otherwise is mostly able to fend for herself.

Here is what I felt when I read your post, and because I know you believe in God I will put it in that format.

You said that she had been in an accident that left her brain damaged.  I feel that God felt that she could not contribute what she needed to, being in that state, therefore, he has taken her back to "start over".  Perhaps her life, had she lived, would have been terrible.

I think that her life now will be better.  I hope you understand what I am trying to say and that it is meant to comfort you.  I know it is hard.  But your love will not have gone unnoticed.

Sherry

Post by Elaine on Oct 30th, 2002, 8:04pm
You have all been very kind. My Family is dealing with it as best we can...its something that never goes away. Our first granddaughter died seven years ago hurts just as much today as then. WE just replace the lost with good thoughts of them both.
Our faith in God is what gets us through.
Any child dieing is hard to take, it doesn't matter who child it is. My family just have to believe that Gods knows what is best and someday we will all be together.
I try to answer all my email I am sorry if  I missed anyone. We would like to say a special thanks to Deb and Bill Loveoy, Michelle and Jane, Jackie. The flowers were beautiful.
Jonny and Barbara G and Jayne and Jackie and Margi Thanks for the call.
Thank each and everyone of you for such lovely post and emails and your kind words. Drk your letter was especially nice Thank You.
We will never be ok with this type of lost but we will get through it. In timt The pain will be replaced with happy thoughts.

Thanks to all from the Hollomans

Please know my thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family.  Your life has been far to hard a road for any person to have to travel.  

If you need anything let me know.  My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
