Prayer Request

My husband and I drove down to Louisiana yesterday because my grandfather has been in the hospital since Sunday and was taken to ICU yesterday morning.  We were able to see him for the 5 o'clock visiting slot yesterday evening very briefly.  We got a call at about 3 a.m. that he passed.  Will you please pray for the repose of his soul?  He is not Catholic, and I know that he struggled with believing his whole life.  But yesterday, he asked to see my husband, and after we left the hospital, my husband said that he prayed an act of contrition with him and that it was a beautiful experience.  That gives me hope for him.  God bless you, Papa.

    I am sorry for your loss. What a blessing to spend time with him before he passed and the image of him praying with your husband is beautiful. I will pray for him and your entire family. My grandpa passed away in late July and I miss him a lot. ((Hugs))

    I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad you were able to see him before he passed and that your DH had such a neat experience with him before he left this earth. It's been almost a year since my grandfather passed, and I still miss him a lot. Hugs.

    I have tears reading this! How truly beautiful that your grandfather asked that your husband pray with him-and an act of contrition? So beautiful! I know it's hard to lose someone but please know I will be praying for his soul, you and all the family.
