Prayer request.... New prayer request page 4

Despite the short notice the visitation was full of people. So many people formed phone-chains and helped me get the word out. And I played hostess to make sure the folks that came knew who everyone was in the family.
My younger daughter and their dad's family were very touched by all the attention and support.
My older daughter was surrounded by a group of her friends to support her in between the folks expressing their condolences.
I'm grateful for the support of my DH. He's been so awesome through all of this, supportive for the girls, the ex's family and me.
I'm grateful for good friends (including the folks on BYC).
I'm grateful that I took my daughters to visitations of family friends over the years. They knew what to expect and handled themselves beautifully.
I'm grateful that years of HR work made it easy to welcome people I'd never met and make them feel comfortable. My ex-in-laws expected to sit on the sidelines, thought this would be an evening for the kids only (his family is from NC). Instead, they were warmly greeted by friends & co-workers of their son & brother and told how much they loved him.
But under it all I'm still so angry at my ex.
I got cheep therapy in the basement. I think I'll go play with some fuzzy butts.

Sending many prayers to you and your daughters.
Oh Dear. Hugs...and prayers.
Prayers and blessings from here too.
wegotchickens and I both live in Sevier County and have become 'chicken friends'. She has been so generous to share hatching eggs with me the past few months and give me advise as I try to learn what I'm doing. I have already sent my sympathies to her and her family privately but I wanted to say here how much I think of her and appreciate her generosity. Today I adopted three cute little chicks from her and I know as much as she loves chickens it was not easy to let them go. My heart goes out to her and her family, especially her daughters, and they will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

GrannyPat. I have heard alote about you from wegotchickens. Thanks for supporting her!! I only wish I were closer to be able to support her more, but as I said the power of Prayer is amazing and I do that daily for her family.
Ya'll are so sweet!!
Thank you for your support!
The service was yesterday and the weather was perfect. In his 4 page note to his mom, the ex had requested hymns and singers and the preacher he wanted. All were available. And friends and family came from several states to be there. There was a very large crowd to see him off.
I was on very good terms with his family pre-divorce and was welcomed back by all. So glad I took the high road back then and didn't burn any bridges. The girls need all the family to get them through this! They were all very sweet to my DH as well.
After the service we all went back to his mom's and tried to make a dent in the mountain of food that was brought. After a few hours, DH & I left and let the girls stay with the family for the night.
Today we went back and had a long discussion about the house and taking care of the estate. Since we're closer, we'll do a lot of the prep work. Based on what we know, there really won't be anything left to provide for the girls later on. Sad, but he apparently had a great deal of debt. I am not surprised. Money was a great deal of stress for us when we were married.
So now we try to live and soak this in and get the house ready for sale. His mom will come over the mountain to do a deed transfer, and will help her get from building to building to take care of anything we couldn't do without her.
In the meantime, I shared chicks with GrannyPat and a friend from work. The 3 we kept for DD2 to show are adorable and were well cared for by our neighbor.
And I got extra cuddle love from the millies. They missed me last week
Hopefully I'll have enough time to tend 3 babies and the grown chickens a little better soon. But the next few weeks will still be really busy.
