Ratmaster2000 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 First, it has been hard preparing this post and I made sure to get the blessing of @Chaoswolf before posting: As a few on here know, my wife had been battling Gall Bladder cancer for some time, and so I don't miss anything from what I have already posted over on that bookish site, I will share what I posted there: I know many of you have read my Mother Pamela and Mother in Law Deborah's posts, as well as some of you being contacted directly, and I am sorry I have been silent, I was waiting till all the arrangements had been made and so I had some to time to post my thoughts. On Saturday the 26th of August my Beautiful, loving and caring Wife heather, mother to our boys Harrison (14) and Paul (9) and daughter to Deborah Clark went to be with our Lord Jesus. It felt sudden to us in the fact that she had just came home Friday after being in the hospital since August 10th, she had recovered from complications from her gall bladder cancer and felt well enough to come to be with her boys who she missed very much and to spend some time with her mother and sister who had come to visit. But, the reality was, every day we had with our precious heather was a blessing from God. Heather had Gall bladder surgery last August due to many gall stones. What we didn’t know at the time, was that Heather had Stage 4 Gall Bladder cancer. Even though, for me, I knew what this meant, I had Hope in the Lord that she would once again be a miracle for God and she would recover. Heather was strong, she was a real trooper and a fighter. She went at this time with Good spirits and a smile on her face, but the cancer was relentless and now she is with Her Lord Jesus in Heaven, praising him and I am sure doing cartwheels for him Because that was what she wanted to do when she got to Heaven. She is safe, wrapped in the loving arms of our Lord and no longer in pain, no longer suffering and in Heaven in her new body. Heather didn’t want to die, she wanted to see her boys grow up and play with her grandchildren, but she was NEVER afraid to die because she always knew if she did she would be in Heaven with our Lord, and even though I miss her very much and am grieving, I am comforted in the fact that she is in a better place and someday in God’s timing I will be joining her in eternity. I would like to share with you all now information about Heather’s celebration of life and other details: We will be having Heather’s memorial service on the 12th of September 2023 at 11AM, at Cavalry Chapel Packinghouse in Redlands , CA ( 27165 San Bernardino Ave, Redlands, CA 92374) We are not planning on having a reception, but it has been suggested that if enough people would like, that there can be a potluck. Please RSVP if you are able to attend, and if you like the idea of a potluck. You may contact me here by private message, or my e-mail at [email protected] , or you may also comment to this post. There will also not be any service at the gravesite, she will be directly buried at Riverside National Cemetery (22495 Van Buren Blvd. Riverside CA 92518), as soon as have details were she will be interred, I will share with anyone who would be interested. Finally, my friend and co-worker Darin Bialy, has set up a GoFundMe account to help us with the costs of heather’s funeral. If anyone feels the Lord leading them to donate, that would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to donate, please private message me and I can give you the link. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers during this time and the love and support we have been receiving during this time. Rest in Life, my Beautiful loving Heather Leigh Clark, we will see each other again in the presence of Jesus. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
