As he reflected on the death of his beloved wife, Margaret, Lyman Coleman wrote the following:<\/p>\n
The most painful decision of my life was asking God to take her home. She had been suffering from repeated brain seizures and her body was wasted. I whispered in her ear: \u201cHoney, I love you. I love you. Jesus wants you to come home. We are going to be all right. We give you permission to let go.\u201d She closed her eyes and fell asleep.\u2026<\/p>\n
As I write this letter, I realize I am without my editor. My greatest critic. My teammate. Soul mate. Prayer mate. Partner in everything. We traveled the roads less traveled together in hard times and good times.<\/p>\n
Honey, I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. I will keep the light on for the kids. I will be there for friends. And one day we are going to join you. All of us. Because Jesus promised it.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrecious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints\u201d (Psalm 116:15).<\/p>\n
