Finally Home

My Dad passed away at 2:45 this morning surrounded by all of us. We are going to miss him so much but we know he is whole again, no more suffering, no more pain.I'm certain he is out for a nice long walk right now w/ his father---who is showing him around heaven.

We are making arrangements and I will post them later.

  18. So sorry, remember you can see him again someday in heaven, it makes it a little easier. I lost my Dad September 6, 2001. The only thing that got me through it was knowing I hadn't lost him forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  28. Sherry, Lisa and family,

    I posted a comment earlier today but for some reason it is not showing up. I am so very sorry that I have not been able to follow the blog for a few days but things with my sister have had me quite preoccupied. My sweethearts, I am so devastated by this sad news. I was hoping and praying that Kraig would be able to make a full recovery and he was heading for such. He was such a fighter in every sense of the word. God had other plans. He needs him in heaven. He has a special job for him to do. I know that those words are hollow right now, but, they will, I hope, be of comfort to all of you one day. My heart is breaking and my tears are streaming but I wish that all the memories you have will one day bring many smiles and laughter to you. If I can do anything, please, please, let me know. I hold all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Each of you has a special guardian angel watching over you. He is always with you. In the breeze, in the song of the birds, in the flight of the butterflies, in the sun and clouds in the sky. Remember to look up and may you see the wings of angels in the sky. He is there. Bless you and I send my love to you all.

  31. Last night I woke from a dream in which Kraig and I were at Fenway for a game. I knew then that he was gone. Since we were unable to speak during my visit in July, I at least had a chance to talk with him one last time. Like most dreams this one was disjointed and fragmented, so I really can't recall much, but I am sure the Sox won.

    Lisa, Aunt Mary & I should arrive late Thursday night and will see all of you Friday.

    Love from all of us here in Texas,

  32. oh, lisa... sweetheart, I am so so sorry! I don't know what to say. My heart just sank into my stomach when i read your post on Facebook. I never go to that one page where you can see all your friend's updates, usually just mine cuz, well, i didn't know that page existed :O( But i have followed you and your dad's progress through this blog here and I KNOW from just reading your posts that the world has lost a wonderful, loving, caring man.... you, your dad; your mom, her husband; your kids, their papa. I just wish there were something I could do, but i know nothing can heal the pain except for lots of love and comfort from friends and family. And I know you have lots of those! Lisa, I know I'm probably the last person you want/have time/can talk to, but i just want you to know that I am here for you any minute of the day or night. If it's 3 a.m. like it is now and you want to talk, you just call me and I will always be here!
    My prayers for strength for you and your family and friends are coming strong. Love you, gurl! xoxo

  33. Dearest Lisa, After I saw your Mom's photographic post yesterday I could not come here as I was just devastated for you all and the heartbreak really left me no soothing words. I did write you an email which hopefully you got ..and today is a new day and the words still feel awkward even as many times as I have walked this journey myself. Please know my heart is with you and your family...I am sorry I didn't get to meet your Dad to tell him what an amazing family he has and how courageous you have all been! You have...and thank you again for all that you have done here for all of us...it means the world.
    Peace and prayer be with you these next few days..sending you a hug. Please hug your mother and tell her it is from me...I wish I could do it in person! ♥ L.R.

  35. Dear Sherri,Lisa,Heather, Mark & family. I'm so sorry on your lost.What a great fun guy he was. Enjoyed cutting his hair and the cocktails at the CHP. I'll see you soon and my prayers are with you all. I'm so glad I got to say good-bye to him the other night. Raymond

  36. Kraig will certainly be missed. In time we will be able to think back on the fond memories, smile and know that the world is a bit better because of Kraig's presence. You all need to know that you did a fantastic job caring for and supporting your husband and father through this. The love you felt for him was clearly evident throughout his illness and during his dying hours. I hope that I am able to use this as an inspiration in my life. Remember, I am right here if any of you need anything.

  37. Lisa,
    So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your faith, your friends and your family! I know that God will be there to help you through this just as he was there to take your Dad's hand and lead him home.
    I will send a donation to the youth group in his memory.
    Love, Sharon Diefendorf (Missy's Mom)
