One of my older cousins died. He's been blind and lost the use of his legs due to his diabetic condition. Several hours ago he died. We're a small family, so, this is a great loss to us. I would appreciate it if some of you could say a small prayer for my family. Especially on the women, my mother, who tried to support them when they asked for money; my grandmother, who took care of them for some time. And his mother and sister.

And for my other cousin who took care of him, wheeling him around... Who saved him twice from dying. I dunno... just pray for my family...

god bless
 
My heart and prayers are with you in Jesus for His comfort and care in your sorrow.

Hugs and God bless

I will pray for your family...

May God use this to bring you all closer together. Try to focus on the good and the love you had for your cousin.
You can't bring him back, but you can honor him by celebrating the life you shared with him.
My family always cooks the persons favorite food for the memorial service.

For my husbands brother we had....Freska soda, Big red gum and chips 'n dip.

This brought back good memories for friends and family...because he always offered a peice of gum witha smile on his face.

God Bless and take care
 
I just lost my grandmother last week. I know how hard it is. I will be praying for you and your family.
 
May God send comfort to your family.. I'd pray for your family
 
I'll be praying for your family bro. I know it may hurt to see him go, but know that God has got you all in His hands, whatever you may go through His arms are open wide, He will be your guide and comfort, and He will never leave you nor forsake you... God bless you
 
Thank you all for your prayers.

*sigh*

I'm not really sure how to go about this. It's not that I'm cold hearted, but I don't want to cry for the sake of my family. My grandmother she cried more then enough for us. She's the one taking it hard. Along with my cousin, who is like a big sister to me. We're a small family, so, when one of us goes, it's hard for some of them. I view my cousins as brothers and sisters for I'm an only child. I've played with some of them, also some of the older ones took care of me. Taught me some things about life. And my grandmother, she's an elder in our little community. So, when shes in pain, people come over to try and console her.

That very night, there were a lot of people at that little house. We as a native community try to respect our elders and revere them. Slowly they're passing on one by one. And when I see her in pain, that's only adding to the pain of losing her son, who was in a hunting accident several years back.

At one point she was out there with him and another of her grandchildren. He originally took care of the one who passed. But she raised them. She found it best to leave her house and community to go out into the city and take care of her children.

It was when I decided to go to her house and take care of it for her. Ever since then, I've been living there doing what I can do to keep it safe. I've dealt with a lot when it came to my "friends" dealing drugs and having their own parties there. That house has always been home for me.... I thought I could at least try to do some good for my grandmother...

I'm rambling.

But nonetheless, I sincerely thank those who actually prayed for my family. And I pray that God bless you all.
