My husband's ex-wife passed away last night/this morning. Please pray for our sons and for her family. Our 18 year old son came home this morning and found her. This is going to be especially hard on him, as he is the only one still at home with her, and is a senior in high school.

Dear Lord, please be with this hurting family. We lift them up to you and pray that you give comfort and peace. And for the young man who found her, wrap him in your loving arms, and comfort his heart. In Jesus name, Amen!

Lord, Cindy has said it all. I echo her words. In Jesus' name! Amen.
And, Tamor, thank you for being a wonderful step-mother and caring enough to bring this to the attention of your friends here, asking for prayer for this family. You've always been at the top in my book. But you just stepped up another big notch. God bless you and strengthen you as you are used by God to bring comfort to these children and also to your husband. Ex-wife or not, they had something together at some point in their lives. I'm guessing he will still feel some pain at her passing.

Thanks Margie. Jon took the news very hard today. As you said, ex or not, they were married for 18 years, and they were in the ministry together for many of them. I feel inadequate in the situation other than being there to pray for them. I appreciate having my friends here to pray with me.

Tammy, I'm SO shocked!!! Please let Jon know that we're praying for him and his boys. Let me know if there's anything we can do.
Tamor, that is so sad! I am praying.

Tammy, I am so sorry. I worked 11-7 last night, so I didn't get your voice mail until late this afternoon when I woke up. If you need me for anything, Call. I will be praying for all of you.

Tamor,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Joe's ex wife passed away last Dec (2007) right before Christmas. It was hard for all - for him - she was the mother of his daughter and for his daughter. All I could do was offer support and prayers. Will be thinking of you guys during this difficult time.

Your selflessness speaks bounds here. Not many could wear your shoes with content, much less wear them in the grace in which you have chosen to walk. My hats off to you with a new found respect.
Still praying for you.

So you can relate to what we're going through.
Another thing that makes this even harder for Jon is the fact that they fought cancer for many years during their marriage and all those years just came to a rushing halt again yesterday.

It was very sudden and unexpected. I sent Pastor Philip a message yesterday when we were on our way down there. I will keep him updated and post on here when I can.

Lord, fill Jon's mouth with YOUR words. Let him speak the things that you want to say to the people present in that room. Use him for your honor and your glory. Give him peace and the calm assurance of your presence. And hold him close to You. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Tamor, although I don't know you, I have always looked forward to reading your posts. I am praying for your husband, your sons, and for her family.
But, I'm praying for you too. I'm a stepmom and I know that often you hurt for your bonus children just as if you were their natural mother, and especially in times like these. God will give you what you need to help your family. In the months ahead, they will look more to you and at times, it won't be clear what they want and it won't always be easy. But God will be there will you. I wish I could give you a hug. You have our respect, love and prayers.

Thank you so much for these sweet words of encouragement. It has been a very long and tiring week and I know it will for awhile. Please continue to pray for us for the next for weeks.

Tammy,
I'll be praying. I knew her well from JCM and I knew she had heart problems. I pray for comfort for her family and the children.
In Jesus name,
