I am very sorry for your loss, and I will say a prayer for you and your husband.

And as others have already said, many paid their respects to your husband, but most were there in spirit and in prayer.

Concur with Tony Jenkins (below) - beautifully penned thank you. Well done, Lois.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Gods band of angels were present....and your Tom was watching....happy and healthy and strong...and proud that 42 wonderful, caring people came to say goodbye...Tom saw more than you could ever see.... altho I'm sure you were who he was missing most.. Take care of yourself Lois... some days it gets better, and other days it hurts as if it were fresh... You will make it my new friend...and you will join him oneday...but in the meantime.... focus on today...and those who LOVE YOU and NEED YOU.... I'm sure that number is also more than 42.... hugs, lindalaw

There were a lot more than 42 people saying farewell,
you just couldn't see them all.

Tony

Lois,
I am sorry to hear about your loss. This is one sadness none of us can avoid in life. I believe he also watched as those 42 friends signed and paid their respects. I like the mood in the last verse - very peaceful, and I hope reassuring to you. Love and Hugs,
