RIP STEVE KOSMOSKI- YOUR EARTHLY TRIAL IS OVER

 This afternoon

my dear brother-in-law,

Steve Kosmoski

passed peacefully 

from this world to the next.

He is beyond all pain and sorrow

and, if you are a believer like me,

I believe he has entered a grand new world

called Heaven.

Steve is the oldest son in the middle,

John is the middle son, on the left,

Paul is the 'baby' on the right.

They are all 18 months apart.

That picture was taken just after John
was declared cancer free after his
third bout with cancer.

They also have an older sister
that lives in New York.
John and Steve were going out to see her
last Fall but never got to make the trip.

Please keep his wife, Carol,
in your prayers as she walks
the new path she finds herself on.
Widowhood is not easy.
She is going to miss her constant companion
and the love of her life.
Thank you all for all of your prayers
and well wishes and healing thoughts.
They are much appreciated and 
I love you for taking the time to 
visit here and leave your comments.

I will be taking a few days away
from blogging but will be back soon.

Love to all of you~

    You approached the subject of death of a loved one well, you seem to know 'how to say it and what to say.' Steve is seeing things we can only dream of. I did like the way you used 'new path' his wife finds herself on. Sweet.
    Prayers for all..
    Sherry & jack Take care and be safe....

    I have kept them both in my daily prayers. We can't be sad for our loved ones who have gone on to a much better place. Those of us left behind have to learn how to go on without them. I will continue to pray for Carol and am so sorry for your loss, Diana. Love you!

    I am so very sorry. But as you say, he is now out of all pain and in a much better place. It is the ones left behind who will have it the hardest. Take as much time off as you need, we will be waiting.

    Such heart break, and I know how hard the widow's path is, being a widow for 5 years now. You might consider sending her a little book by Gayle Roper, The Widow's Journey, I find it helpful.

    I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your brother in law. It sounds like this man traveled a very hard road and like you I believe also, now he has seen his savior. There is no more pain, sickness, sadness. Just pure joy.. I pray the Lord send comfort to his wife who will have to navigate the rest of this life without him. XO

    Diana I am praying for you and your family at this time. Since I too am a believer knowing where are loved ones are and imagining the most glorious home of all brings such peace at this time. We still mourn but the mourning is because we miss them...not because we don't know they are in such a more beautiful place. Take care and I will continue to remember you in my prayers. God Bless!

    So sorry Diana, I got behind with everything and am trying to catch up…sorry about your brother in law Steve and pray that his wife Carol will find a peace in her heart where the hole now is. I told Ken that I either need to die before him or we need to go together because if he goes before me I will drive my children nuts. It’s good that your family has you there to share the grief, even though we are promised heaven we will miss our loved ones who have passed on before us. 💔❤️😔
