Karena has now lapsed into unconsciousness....but we are told that she can still hear us so we have been chatting to her and reminiscing at her bedside over some of the crazy things we have done as a family. There's been some tears but also some laughter at some of the things we have recalled.
It's very peaceful beside her; and I can only conclude that the Lord has her cradled in His arms, ready to take her home.
We have all said goodbye, and told her that she is free to go with our blessing as soon as it's time.
The Lord will call her home quite soon now.
In the meantime it's sleepover night again so the DVD is on and the sleeping bags are out.....
Psalm 62:1-2
My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation
He is my fortress, I shall never be shaken
Give Karena a kiss from me Craig and tell her she will always be in my heart.

I'm so sorry it's been so long since we've seen you. But we have been following recent events with mounting consternation and sadness. Please do know that we are praying for you all at this terrible time. And, if she can register the information, please give Karena our love.

ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the beautiful sounds and sights of Heaven that are floating by Karena right at this moment. While I am assured of her joyful and exciting future with our King, my heart is breaking for you all. The Ropers love you, our family in Jesus xxx
ReplyDeleteTo be, or not to be: that is the question:
ReplyDeleteWhether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;.........
With love to you all.
I read something before and thought it was a new update but it wasnt and Im sorry I didnt see this one. I pray that the angels attend to her and she has peace x
ReplyDeleteI have been following Karena's journey for sometime through her extended family across the sea. I am sadden when I think about a world without Karena. Please give her a kiss and a hug from us and tell her that we love her very much.
ReplyDeleteLove,
