My Absence

Blog Posted by Laura Leiser: 7/25/2018 1:41:00 PM

To those who know me, I have not posted recently because my dad passed away this past month (July). He was a wonderful father and I was very close to him. I know he is in heaven now with his Lord and Savior. Prayers for my mom and family are greatly appreciated. God Bless you all.

Peace, blessings and prayers to you, Laura, I'm so sorry to hear of you losing your dad. I have almost lost mine a number of times this year, and I keep bracing. I know nothing I say can relieve the heartache, and those holes never fill, but I pray with time that you find comfort knowing he is in a better place, and that it's just a matter of time before you'll see him again. May angels wings carry him peacefully to slumber. Much love and respect, my friend. <3

Dear Laura... losing a parent is so difficult. I'm glad you have your faith to help you during this time. There is a great reunion day coming. My condolences to you and the family, dear. Isaiah 57: 1 & 2 was a comfort to me when my Mama died. May it comfort your heart as well. Sending love
