I repent.If any one would like to chat and have a sounding board please feel free to touch base with me at Pilgrim1940@yahoo.com. Keep on painting and photographing,your an awesome group of folks,may God bless you all, Frederick (Bud) Skidmore P.S. I'm not to sharp at putting an image on the forum so I uploaded her image to my profile page and after all our years together she was truly much more beautiful then this early snapshot of her at 20.

Not religious myself - but I hope you get through the void this has left in your experience of life here. Just remember that consciousness can never die, and lives on in new and exciting ways :)

Hello Federick, I am sorry to hear of your loss, my words come from a future book release when I complete the final dot to the "circle of life" "In The Hands Of The Beholder" I may not know you personally but sure I will, we all come together in times of need, I hope my words may offer comfort, offer you peace of mind. (excerpt and passage)

." We die in stages,] others die within time allotted until the unthinkable, sooner than expected. Why? If it eases your pain, do not question why a death occurred but understand and keep her beautiful memory alive within you, life and death are relative, instinctively at one point we do prepare for the new journey ahead, We are created to take part in the pleasures and experiences of life good and bad, we live and share. We live to die, everybody, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year an entire lifetime for death is only the beginning of a new state of awareness and consciousness. A dimension between thoughts and dreams the micro moments of reality but of a different type of existence, the dot which connects us all to the "circle of life", the cosmos our beautiful universe"


May you find Solice

My condolences, Michael Joseph Hoard Principal Actor, Artist, Photographer and Writer

Frederick, first off I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I am also in great admiration for your bravery and the way you are facing this. I doubt I could do the same.

Your post brought to mind one of my favorite all-time videos, which I can no longer watch because it is too painful. It is of a beautiful song titled "Waves" by Sam Baker. I post it with fair warning to all that it may rip your heart out.

God bless you, Frederick.

Peaceful and happy memories to you Frederick, Jesus is the great comforter and strength, the shepherd in which we will find love and humility and power... the protector of our souls; our bodies and minds are frail in a wicked world, but our souls rejoice in death and new life, when the Lord calls...
