Mom's Celebration Service and my prayer requests

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for coming to my Mom's memorial service. It really meant a lot to me and my Dad. I do not know how to express my gratitude to all of the people that are sustaning us through this hard and unbelievible time of grief and sadness. I also want to thank God for all the great things and people he put around us. I am sure my Mom and the Lord was honored for the service and all the people who came. Still I feel like a peice of shit, being this sad and depressed. I feel really hurt and wounded that my Mom is not with me and my DAd I know God, family, and friends are with me, but that does not change that fact that my Mom is gone. My prayer request is that this blog will countinue to use at a shelter that we can all share are feelings not only about my Mom, but about life in general. I know that life must go on, but it is going to hurt really bad to try to move on. My other prayer request is to move foward and not dwell on this but to cotinue serving the Lord and others. I want my life to be a impact of a significant amount of people. My other prayer request is that me and my Dad will get more of the Lord's comfort and kindness upon us as we are still mourning the loss of such a wonderful person. Thank you for listining.

Love,
Devon

Hi Devon,

You are soooo strong and I am so glad that you have your dad, your friends and family and most importantly, the Lord in your life to help you through these difficult times. You did SOOOO great yesterday and I know that it was really meaningful to have you share in your own special way about your mom's history. I know she was smiling down on you and enjoying every minute of the service.

We'll keep in touch... stay strong in the meantime.

Love your cuz.

Devon,
Being sad, hert and mad is normal. I am glad you are sharing your feelings. Don't forget, your mom is not on earth but she is in your heart and not only your heart, your dads heart, your grandparent's hearts and all of people who care and love her. She is still with you and she still loves you. Don't forget that! You are doing great and me, your dad and all of the people who love you are pround of you, even your mom. Talk to you later.

Love,
Michelle

Hey Devon,

I'm an old friend of your mom and dad's and I remember you from your early days as a bouncing little boy. I share your hurt and anger. And everytime I think about your mom's passing, I feel depressed too.
You wrote that you want your life to be an impact. . . I want you to know that you are impacting and inspiring me. With your honesty, your anger, your perseverance and faith.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. That your mom is not here physically, but she's still here. If you sit quietly and feel into her, you'll feel her. You just can't see her, but she's here.
I'm keeping you and your dad in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Carol F

Devon,

I really want to thank you and your dad for sharing from the heart. You both have blessed so many of us who loved your mom. You have impacted our lives through your honesty, to help us heal from this difficult time. You've encouraged us with your strength and given us hope. I don't know that I could have experienced the tremendous amount of healing these past weeks, if it weren't for "Gail's Place" Thank you for your generosity in sharing and including us along the way. You have an amazing community around you and I feel blessed to partake in this. You and your dad gave us a wonderful gift through Gail's place...the gift of love, communication, encouragement, sharing in our sorrows and awesome stories of the things we will always love and cherish about your mom. Thank you.

Love,
Amy

Hey D -- JT here. Praying for you and your dad. We're off on a second vacation tomorrow--back to the Midwest to hang with KJ's family.
You and dad have fun at the Giants game. Yeah that's right, I said GIANTS! Even though they're playing some team you guys like from La La Land. Hey man, last place or not--I bleed black and orange!

Have fun guys, and I hope Barri "The UNnatural" Bonds hits one out for you.

Devon,

I'm still thinking about how you are doing. I keep checking in with your family members at Anaheim Free Methodist Church at the same time, to make sure they're also hanging in there with the healing process. I'm still rooting for your dream of becoming a pro wrestler...Yoshi the Demon Cruncher! Now that's a fun goal to pursue, right? Right! Don't forget what God promised: He'll get you through this!
