I asked the question a while ago asking where all the Dannyites have gone. Now we might know where. If in fact, as some have speculated, some of the Dannyites are members of the Shelton clan then they might be off of here mourning the passing of an uncle of Tommy and Danny as was reported over on the Maritime forums.
I'd personally like to extend my condolences to them and their family over their loss. Maybe this should be a new thread where others can do the same? Clay? Richard |

To all of the Shelton family who are grieving for a loved one, my sympathies and prayers go out for you.
Take courage in the words of scripture that were given to us for times such as these: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, NIV 13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage each other with these words. -------------------- Got Peace?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. "Truth welcomes examination and doesn't need to defend itself, while deception hides in darkness and blames everyone else." Aunt B, 2007 |

The fact is the Uncle passed about 3 weeks ago. Thanks though, |

Well it was reported just today on the internet where we could see it. Better late than never. I wished we'd have been so informed when it happened, but that is neither here nor there.

My condolences to the Shelton family for their loss.
A long time close friend of my parents passed away last night. We have the assurance that we will be meeting our loved ones at the resurrection.

Uncle Paul was a very nice, quiet and reclusive man. It was especially fun to take the kids trick or treating to their house. Aunt Wanda is just precious. She has taught children's Sabbath School at the West Frankfort SDA church for, I figure, around fifty years or more. They lived next door to Goldie and Earl Seddon, mother and step-father to Danny and his siblings.
Uncle Olen is very much missed, as is his son, Jefferey. My kids especially loved Jeff. He had Down's Syndrome and felt very attached to children and babies. Still brings a tear to my eye as I remember Jeff bursting into tears when he saw small kids (my kids), even on TV. We all miss him too. "Uncle O" treasured and took such good care of him. I will always remember and respect him for that. My babies just loved Grandma Goldie, and she loved them. Some of my most treasured family video includes her and my kids. Goldie and Earl loved fishing. She painted as a hobbie and put her all into her son Kenny's church and organization. Her funeral was held at the Behold The Lamb Church. Goldie is also missed. Since 1989 there have been many good times and bad times. Tonight there are tears as I remember the many good times with the family, and there are many. There are many of them, and you who have been family remember. Despite the garbage and hard feelings that have developed, a big hug to you tonight Melody, Danny, and the rest of the family. No matter what, we will always be family. There is no way anyone can get around that. Derrell This post has been edited by beartrap: Mar 2 2007, 10:28 AM |

I would also like to add my condolences to the Sheltons. |

Agreed. About a year and a half ago my parents passed away a month apart. I still have people I've not seen in awhile coming up to me and saying how sorry they are. When you have loved someone(s) you are still touched.

My point in saying it was 3 weeks ago was addressing the comment that all the DS supporters must be gone to the funereal or whatever it was that was said. Richard, my heart indeed goes out to you. We might be on different sides on this thread but we are on the same side of the grief felt when we lose our parents. I can't imagine losing them a month apart. Only God could bring you through something like that. To me, death is the worst punishment of all for living on this earth. Thank God we know we will be united with our loved ones in the heavenly kingdom. I don't know how people that "don't believe" can make it through the deaths of their loved ones. A year and a half would seem like yesterday in the grief process. I will pray for you. |
