Prayed are needed

This morning while checking my e-mail I found one from a blogging friend, Van.
His father passed away unexpectedly last night. I cannot even begin to tell you how profoundly upsetting this is and how deeply sorry I am.
Over the past several months Van and I have been reading each other's blogs and commenting. Learning we have a similar taste in music and more importantly we have a deep love for our children. Van talks about his kids all the time, how much he loves them and misses them when they are not home with him. His posts have always been quite endearing. Most of the time he mingles in work and he's always talking about movies and books he has recently read and/or watched. It's odd how even though I don't know him personally I am confident I could pick him out of a room and I am sincere in saying he is a friend.
Please pray for him and his family during this unspeakable time of sorrow. Send all your most positive of thoughts.

I am sorry to hear of your friend's huge loss. I will be sure to pray for him and his family.
Thank you Christy for your well wishes. Today has been very hard. I am so grateful to have my children with me. Their smiles and love have been exactly the strength I and my extended family and friends have needed to bear this big, big hurt.
I can't even imagine how difficult it is, just pull together and try and comfort each other as best as you can. I'm so happy the kids are there with you.
And thank you ja for your prayers.
It is always nice to have a friend when you are at your lowest. When my father passed away, my best friend was crying along with all of us kids at the wake that people begin to whisper if she was a "well-kept secret" [read: illegitimate child]. The mean-ness of people ... I'm sure Van is touched by your gesture. A small prayer has been said for his loved one.
Thank you kindly, Maria.
