Sad news....(UPDATE from FUNERAL and 3 pics)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I just got a telephone call from my niece Els that her dad died this afternoon. He was my brother-in-law, married to my sister Lieve . His name was Bernard too, just like my hubby.
Some friends here will remember me posting pics of his 4 horses, and of our family gathering this summer, to celebrate his 60th birthday.... .
Bernard just arrived back home form a horseride, when he suddenly fell off his horse, instantly dead.
OMG, I am so overwhelmed.... . My sis is soooooo shocked; she is the type of person who completely depends on her hubby. Now that he is gone, she won't know how to cope.. !
Please pray for her and her 2 daughters... . They will need it so badly

Nobody knew he had a weak heart. His doctor heard a sight murmur last month, so he made an appointment for a heart-scan on december 3rd. He never made it to that...

I am so sorry for bothering you all with this! But I know how helpful PT-prayers can be! Thank you for ever reading this thread.......

This picture is from his horse Puck

and one of Bernard with 2 of his horses...

Oh Lut, don't ever think that! I'm so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Many prayers for all of your family. {hugs}

Of course, my prayers are w/you and your family and especially for his widow. It's going to take her a while to adjust.

Oh Lut - so sudden and sad. Your sister must be beside herself, and the girls too!

I pray that all he knew at that moment was that he had had a great ride on his horse, something he loved to do.

Prayers for peace and strength for all your family to cope. Are you and Bernard going there right away?
