Hello, my IHD friends...

May I ask you all to remember us in your prayers, please???...

My sister-in-law phoned about an hour ago... My brother collapsed and died this morning (April 16th)... RIP... No definite news of a cause of death yet, but a massive heart attack is the most likely cause... He had diabetes and smoked...

He was fifty years old... Two teenage kids...

My poor mum is still stunned... Hasn't cried yet, but it's coming... I know that... If I'm honest, she's my greatest worry...

If you pray, and can I prevail upon you to spare a little one for us, please???... I'd really appreciate it...

Thank you everybody...

May God bless and protect you all...

Love...

Darth...

Thanks everybody...

You have no idea how much your support means to me!...

Poor Mum's still stunned... I can't blame her... At 71 yeas old, you don't expect to bury your kids...  It's just not the natural order of things...

God bless you all...

I am so very sorry for all of you.  You are right, no Mother should have to bury their child. I will keep you all in my prayers and will say some special ones for you Mum.  How are your brothers children doing?  This is incredibly hard for all of you.  I hope during the next few days, you can feel our love and prayers surrounding you   :grouphug;

Thanks all...

His kids appear to be coping... But then you know how teenagers are... They are off school for the Easter Holidays so their friends are with them... They'll get a lot of support...

Mum's still very calm, and quiet... Far too calm and quiet for my liking... I'm worried about her...

Again, thanks for the thoughts and prayers... Please keep them coming...

God bless you all...

Love...
