God has truly taken an amazing person. She is now at peace. We will all miss her very much. She touched the hearts of many people in ways she will never know.

Dear Earl, Tim & Alvina, John & Carol:
We feel with you and cry with you. The unending pain of loss is overwhelming. We know God can see the top side of this crazy quilt we call life. We trust that He is making something beautiful from His perspective.
There is no glib comfort.
We stand with you and HUG you.
See the GRIEF BEATITUDES here and The Mourner's Bill of Rights here.

Earl, you may not know who I am so let me tell you. I am a sister to Matt Dueck. I regret that I never got to meet the 2 of you because I have felt a connection with you. I never got to tell either of you thankyou for praying for my little daughter Ciara at St. Boniface back in June. I know what it's like to pray so hard for a miracle and not get it. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that God brings you lots of comfort during this difficult time.

I have many special memories of Ramona. Her faith in God and her positive outlook on life has challenged me immensely. Her beautiful smile portrayed her love for Jesus.
I miss you Ramona...but I know your legacy will live on in the lives and hearts of many people, including me.
Love, Auntie Gloria

My deepest sympathy to Earl and Ramona's families.

I have followed your blog from the beginning and have occasionally commented. My heart goes out to you and your family. Cliff and Lucille Reimer are my uncle and aunt. Lucille and my mom are sisters. I pray that God will give you the guidance you need.

I will be with you in thoughts and payers on wednesday.... I live in Paris, France, I am Brigitte's sister, Lilou's aunt, waiting a little girl from GLA. Ramona has been sooo important for my niece, I wish that my daughter meets someone like RAmona in her orphanage's life.
I follow your blog since the very beginning and today I am very sad.
Again, my heart will be with you, I'll be praying tomorrow for you Earl and both Ramona's family and yours and all the people who loved (loves) Ramona.

Hi All,
My struggles with Ramona dying are my own, but I was encouraged by something the Lord reminded me of. It's got to be of some value, it's from His word:

1 Cor 13:9-13
For we know in part and we prohpesy in part, but when perfection comes the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child...Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

oh Father, Your Ramona is with you, and she sees fully now, but we don't, not yet. Thank you that the imperfect is gone for Ramona, would you give us the Grace we need to live in the partly known, and imperfect parts of life. For Earl, and families and close friend, may grief draw them deeper in to you instead of away, may they share in joys that remain...

Jacquie R.

it was a beautiful service. ramona would have been proud of the way everything was set up. may you feel God's presence in each and every one of you at this time. God took one amazing woman off of this earth and only he knows why. jen k

The celebration of Ramona's life was wonderful.I saw that warm heart in her the first time I met her,which was last year I believe in Nov.Actually I saw that in both of you's.You both were always glowing every time I saw you's.Like many have mentioned ,She has touched many hearts through this journey & you were standing right beside her like a piller...When I lost my hair with the chemo,I NEVER went out without my wig.She spoke to me in the video about when she lost her hair.Wow! She was an amazing woman.
I really believe that her goal in life ,is going to happen.It is going to be a wonderful "DREAM FULFILLED"...We will continue to keep you & your family in prayer.
Love & prayers

Earl,
Just to let you know, Our thoughts have been with you as today would have been your 4th. wedding anniversary. I'm sure you'll miss your sweetheart in many ways today...we're so thankful that you were a loving husband to Ramona in the last 4 years. Your commitment to her was an example to many of us who are married.
God's blessings and peace to you,
Robert and Gloria.

My thoughts are with you all.Continued prayer is going out to you..I know it is very hard being so close to Christmas...Here is a very comforting piece that was in my devotion the other day."At that moment of death,the believer enters Heaven ,carried upward by the angels to the glorious welcome awaiting the redeemed".The title was From Time To Eternity...Jesus has gave me a vision with that ,because I had 2 miscarrages,& our children are going with Jesus.That is why we adopted Mellinda,which is a blessing.
May God continue to comfort you & you family.
Love & prayers Janet
