Our son’s funeral was yesterday.
It was an uplifting experience for both Mrs. PG and PG. We are well and feeling a wonderful peace about our son.
Sincere thanks to all who took the time to share their condolences with us. We very much appreciated those and the comforting words of many others.
As you might imagine, our normal lives have been placed on hold for several days. We have a great many things to catch up on, but I hope to be able to start posting again later today.
Thank you again for your kind thoughts.
I was unaware of anything that had happened until today. I am stunned. So sorry. Words fail me.
Mr and Mrs PG…I am so very sorry to hear this. Most sincere condolences, and I’m always good for a quick post. Many of us are. Probably ALL of us. Take your time, come and go, whatever. I’ve relied on you and your posts for years…rely on us whenever you want, if you want. I hope Mrs. PG will continue writing her fiction, too, hard as that might seem right now.
Wishing you and Mrs. PG all the peace and comfort possible.
My condolences to you and your wife and family. Thank you for a fine writing/publishing resource for all of these years. Sincerely, SW
My daughters were in the same ward with Greg for a few years. My oldest daughter, Angela, spent a lot of time with him. She attended the service and said how peaceful and uplifting it was. She said as they released the balloons their Crestwood group all shared stories about Greg. He was kind to my daughters and they are both grieving his loss. Words feel inadequate, but I am so sorry. I have been praying for your family to feel peace and comfort and love.
My condolences. Take all the time you need, brother. God bless.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear David and Mrs PG, I am heartened to hear you are feeling peaceful and seeing what comes next and then next. I am glad your boy’s funeral was uplifting with the Lord and those who came to be with you and your son.
I know that returning to the patterns we had before a sudden event, is one way of re-normalizing life, in the sense of having a place to go, things to do.
I know you already know: Please do whatever is best for you. Be back here til the cows come home, or just for a few days, then off again, however fits for you. You see that others here are also offering to post for you if you wish. However you would like it to be. People stand ready. Sending loving prayer to you both, and to all others who are walking with you close in.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sending you and Mrs. PG prayers.
I missed your first announcement somehow. Please allow me to add my belated best wishes to you and your family.
You do what you need to. We’re not going anywhere! {{HUGS}} to you and Mrs. PG.
Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. Uplifting and peace…at such a great, great loss, those are blessed things. Peace continue to be upon you both.
I’ve been reading this blog for some time. When you posted, I was so shocked, I just closed the tab – couldn’t think of anything to say.
I really don’t have a good idea how you are feeling. But, you seem to be responding to this with as much grace as is possible. I will add my prayers to others, and pray for you to find some peace in the future.
So very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
PG, I am so sorry to hear about this. I’ve been in your situation and my heart hurts for you. *hugs*
Stay strong for those who are around you. It is all you can do when things are dark.
I add my voice of condolence and prayer, for you and Mrs. PG.
Take your time, David. If you need the vacation crew to step in for awhile I’m sure we can make that happen.
What Randall said. We’ll take care of things if you need us to.
Going back to “normal,” as much as that is possible, is frequently helpful in dealing with grief.
But – if it is not so in your case, PG – let the backup crew take care of it. Or just stay “dark” for as long as you need to.
Blessed is your peace, PG. Take your time. We’re here for you.
Blessings!
My condolences to your family. **hugs**
