Sad and difficult time

On Saturday, July 6, 2013 at approximately 10:00 PM, my loving and wonderful husband passed away.  He had courageously and valiantly fought cancer for almost 7 years.   It almost seems to me like a bad dream and that I will wake up and everything will be okay, but I know that is not the case.  I do know, however, that everything will eventually be okay because God is still in control.  

Visitation will be at Walker Family Funeral Home, 501 Conant Street, Maumee OH 43537 on Thursday, July 11 from 5pm to 9pm.  Friday, July 12 there will be visitation at Monclova Road Baptist Church from 9am to 11:30am followed by the funeral service. A graveside military service will be conducted at Roth Memorial Cemetery,  Keener Road, Monclova OH  following the funeral service at the church. 

My kids have been with me constantly during this difficult time. We want to thank you for all of your prayers and expressions of concern and compassion for us these past months.  We believe that God has been with us as we traveled this journey and we pray for His continued presence with us as we go through these next difficult and sad days. 

Arnie was my best friend and my husband for almost 34 years.  I will miss him terribly and I will always love him.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

  7. Sharon,

    Words can't express the sadness I feel at the loss of my friend. I will miss the visits we had here at the lake. He always had a positive attitude when ever we talked and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. You and your children have our deepest sympathy.

    God Bless you,
    Jim & Barb

  8. Sharon,
    Karen and I want to express our sincere sympathy and understanding of what you are going through. It is very difficult to let go of your lifemate. It does make it easier when you know he is truly with our Lord. Arnie was a very special friend and I always enjoyed our conversations. Especially when he expressed the peace he had in knowing the Lord and trusting in Him.

    That's the only way we can peacefully get through these times.
    We continue to pray for you and your family.

    Love,
    Joe & Karen
