Our Son Has Gone Home, car accident 25 June 2013

[RebeccaAnn]

David Benjamin Couture was killed along with his girl friend in a car accident on June 25th. They were hit by a simi. The driver had a suspended license.
We have been having a hard time dealing with things. If it were not for family and knowing families are forever it would be impossible. They are in Heaven with Jean-Thomas and one day we shall all be together again. I long for that day yet I know we still have a work here to finish. The Lord calls us in His time.

RebeccaAnn, I cannot even imagine the difficulty you and your family are going through right now. Please know that I will be praying that the God of all Comfort will be beside you as you deal with this terrible loss. May our sweet Lord Jesus make His lovely presence especially clear to you at this time.

A dear preacher friend of mine gave me something a few years ago that is so simple, and yet so profound. I use it at virtually every funeral I conduct here on the Reservation. Always remember that our time apart is shorter than the time we will be together.

Lord bless you and yours.

I just saw this post! My prayers go out for your son and his girlfriend as well as both families.
Loss is hard to deal with and we all have to at sometime or other.

How very sad for your family. May the good Lord watch between thee and your loved one while you are absent, one from the other. Blessings, RosebudV

My heartfelt condolences. Loss and letting go is hard to handle and yet they are part of life.
My prayers are with both families, may you always find an open ear when you need to talk , a shoulder to lean on and a hand holding yours when needed. I wish you all strength you need in this difficult time and a if you allow it, a hug.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers. Julianna walked up to the cemetery and placed a small vase of silk flowers she bought for David on his grave. EmmaAnn and Chase went with me up there. We just got back. It is beautiful. The birds are singing. I wish I could go and sit by him and just enjoy the beauty but we have had so much rain it is too wet.
David is in the Spirit World. He is watching over us with Jean-Thomas and the rest of our family. I know our time here is short but sometimes it seems mighty long and gets mighty lonesome.
Hugs are always welcome here.

I know David is in Heaven with Jean-Thomas and watches over us always. Jean-Thomas is with us always. But until last night in the hospital, I wasn't sure that David was here. I know he is Heaven and is close. But Sat. night I found he is here with us just as Jean-Thomas is. I was having a hard night and there was a wonderful young nurse that was there for me. I can't walk so need lots of help. He would take me and hold me in his arms just as David did. He was strong and gentle as he cared for me. He always had a sweet smile and cheerful and so tender. No matter how often I called he was there. In his gentle and encouraging words and loving arms I felt safe. I looked at him and in his shining face and sparkling eyes I saw David. I know David is here with us.
