When Bug sent me the text, I broke down in tears. I wish that I had made it to a CP Bash to meet Mrs. Nzoner. I’ve read and heard so many good things about her and could tell that she was a sweetheart of a woman. Lots of love to everyone who had the privilege to know her and so much strength to those who love her. My deepest condolences to Nzoner. Having been through this heartbreak, my wish for you is to stay strong. [Reply]
Thank you guys so much for all the thoughts and prayers.Mrs Nzoner got sick in late October with Covid pneumonia and with her RA of 23 years it absolutely wrecked her lungs because her body could not fight everything..She was on a vent for 20 days then they tried a tracheotomy and she was on the vent that way another 11 days but wasn't getting any better.Of course there's a lot more to it one step forward two steps back but eventually she tired of fighting and a couple of days before she passed we had a beautiful moment in her room when I was able to finally read her lips and she asked for her Bible.She then had me read a section of Romans 8 to her that she had highlighted and that mentions that believers bodies will be redeemed.
Yes,we're both believers in a creator and our hope lies not in this brief life here but an eternal home where there will be no more pain or tears and our spirits will have new bodies.That said I'm comforted knowing my wife is dancing on streets of gold and that I will one day see her again.As I put on FB earlier this will be her merriest Christmas yet celebrating with our Savior but she will be oh so missed here.
You all have a blessed Christmas,hug your loved ones a little tighter because as God's Word says in James 4:13-15
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”

Joe - I can’t imagine how hard it is to come here and share these things, but thanks so much for doing so. That passage is perfect.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - we’re Family here at CP. Amazingly, we’ve never met, but I feel like I know both you and Kathy well through our interactions here. You are loved and beloved on this site. We are here for you, whatever you need, when you need it. It’s what Family does for Family. Take care, Brother. [Reply]
