Hey everybody, this is Dani.
Yesterday morning at about 7:00 I got a call from my mom asking me if I could go up to the Heber hospital to see her and my dad. The night before my dad had checked into the hospital, and my mom stayed with him all night. It was a hard night. That morning, my mom and dad made the decision to move my dad to our cousins the Haderlie's home to be with us for this last little bit. He doesn't have much time left, we're expecting him to pass away either tonight or tomorrow. Most likely it will be tonight. He has been in a lot of pain for a long time, and it is a blessing for him that he gets to go back home to our Heavenly Father now.
My mom says to tell you all that it's a New England blustery day, which is a tender mercy for her, especially as we have received so many phone calls from that side of the country. To our friends from both coasts and all over, thank you so much during this time, we've felt your prayers, blessings and love. Please keep praying for us. We love you so very much. Take care, and know that even if we don't answer the phone, respond to emails or other messages yet, we will and are so grateful that you've taken the time to show how much you care.
Love from all of us,
The Savage Family

We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit with your Dad, Mom, Josh, Kyle, and Alexis recently. We're sorry we missed you:( We are very thankful, too, that you all had the opportunity to go to Seattle and enjoy your time together. We love the family picture. We are so very thankful for the postings and updates, Dani, and know that it is a very difficult time for all of you and but one that is full of faith. You and your family have shown all of us a marvelous example of great faith and grace. The tender mercies of the Lord will be poured upon you and your family. You are in our prayers always. Much love, Terry and Barbara

Thank you Dani for keeping us posted. My heart is breaking for all of you. Just keep remembering the good things in life and how many people your dad and whole family has touched. I hope he is not in too much pain.

My heart aches for you. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers. I admire your strength and faith. *hug* Isn't it comforting to know you'll be with him again? We love you all.

I weap with you for your pain and loss of such an amazing husband, father, son, brother, cousin, brother-in-law, friend, and bishop. Blaine has demonstrated such a strong faith with dignity and humility through all this as you all have lived the example of love, committment, and faith. We are all immeasurably blessed to have shared this journey by your good graces. Blaine is going home and the true comfort is knowing we all are only seperated for a time, not an eternity.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the blessing you have been in my life and in all the lives of all who shared this journey with you.
All my love,
Liz

Dear, Dear Savages,
ReplyDeleteI weep as I type for your love and friendship, the care and the caring. As Brother Jay says, "Life is what happens when you have made other plans". You have all been so brave and so positive through this; faith provides the way, does it not? My love and my prayers go out to you always, and I wish that I could be there to deliver this in person.
Love, Tina
All of my love goes out to you tonight. My heart is broken for each of you. Blaine was an amazing man. What a father, what a husband! What a hole will be left. I don't know what else to say, other than that my prayers are with you all tonight and that I'm wishing Blaine a safe and peaceful journey home. Your hearts will wish him there also. Love and prayers to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWe pray for you all to find and feel peace. Our hearts are with you.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. I put Blaine's name on the Temple Prayer roll tonight (not knowing what the recent updates were), and so we're glad we did that.
