What happend to Richard? I have never been to this site before and after reading some posts I read where Richard had died? Don't know if I want to registar or not. I thought I would give it some time. S Hi S, Welcome to ST message board I hope you will come back. If you have any question feel free to ask. Yes, Richard our dear friend has passed away into eternity. To Standingtrue readers,
I am deeply with remorse to inform that our dear friend Richard McFarland has passed away recently. Here is one of his last emails to me and one from his sister.
Jan 6, 2008 From Richard to Nathan.
Hi Nathan,
My daughter just turned 7 in October. Maybe some day our children can meet, fall in love, get married, raise us up some very Christ like grandchildren... Well you know that you never know what may happen on this earth! I have met so many good professing people from around the country and around the world because of the StandingTrue List and the Boards. It's frightening to realize that there are so many who not only refuse to see and understand but actively fight against Christ in the truth.
I am not one to judge those who believe in Jesus sacrifice but for those who must make it their duty to interfere with others is beyond me. I have enough problems with Satan and his vicious attacks without him using others.
We have overcome Nathan and if we continue to Stand True there is nothing can separate us from our Savior and Brother Jesus Christ. He will bring us to His Holy Father.
I hope the coming year is a good year for you and your family. I still have a few more rough months ahead. I was in the hospital for 9 days.
Your friend, Richard (Rick) M.
2) ~~~ From Richard's sister to Nathan Hi Nathan, Thanks, for writing back. I don't see why there would be a problem with giving a message to your message board about Richard's passing. All of the Friends in his area and much of Tx must already know. And of course the workers have been informed. Richard (Rick) was doing better after his stay in the hospital, but his potassium level dropped too low due to his diabetes and it stopped his heart. He began recovering very well from that but the doctor had run a wire through his femoral artery to monitor his heart and when they took it out it tore the artery in his pelvis region. The nurses realized what happened several days afterward and he was rushed into surgery to repair the artery. He came out of surgery fine, the doctor said it was successful and he was stable but the next day his blood pressure just kept dropping and by 6 PM his eyes were fixed and dilated, no brain activity. He was on life support for a few more hours, they called his time of death at 8:30 PM Jan, 16th. His funeral is Wed, Jan 23rd at 1:30 PM. I'm not sure which funeral home, I think it would be Cook/Walden but my dad didn't tell me all the details yet. I know the Standing True discussion board was something he was proud to have been a part of, and I thank you for being there for him during his last trials in this life. His entire life was struggle and misery but he remained faithful to God and Jesus through it all. Rick is Home now and all worldly pain is gone. With love, Rick's sister ~~~ To my dear friend, Richard...
I am so happy that God has called you home to enjoy the eternal fellowship throughout eternity with Him and His people forevermore.
(Revelation 21:3,4) God will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself! shall be with them, and be their God. He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pains: for the former things are passed away.
And He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new, and he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Please, pray for us struggling souls down here that we'll continue to be True to God, our callings, and to glorify God's name unto the end.
Your brother in Him, Nathan B.
