Administrators Gail Posted March 16, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2009 Please send up a little prayer for my cousin Alton. His wife was found murdered, her throat slashed, as she was babysitting. The baby was found safe in the crib. Alton Gregory lives on the family homestead in Saskatchewan. My grandparents homesteaded there when they immigrated from Austria just after the turn of the century. In recent times there have been some small hunters' cabins pop up on the acreage, and folks use them while hunting or otherwise wintering. They think that there is the connection to the murder. Alton drives truck and was out of town when the tragedy occurred. Our family is crushed.

Moderators Nan Posted March 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2009 That is horrifying, Gail, I will certainly pray for your family. Do they have children? I am assuming your cousin's wife was caring for someone else's child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Gail Posted March 16, 2009 Author Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes, they have grown children, but I can't remember exactly how many. I think 3. It's been years since I've been to Saskatchewan, but we always think of my Ukrainian relatives with fondness. They are ALL such wonderful, kind people.

Members phkrause Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Oh wow Gail this is awefull, will put all on our pray list. pk Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morning Glory Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Oh Gail, I am horrified to hear of this tragedy!! I won't pretend to know how you all must be feeling although I can imagine the gut wrenching pain you must be feeling........ I will definitely remember your family and especially your cousin in my prayers. May God hold you all close to Himself during this awful season of sorrow. There are no other words to say, none that can alleviate your pain, only time can slowly wear down the harshness of this crime and loss. God willing, the "doer" will be brought to justice, and soon. Praise God that you have the hope of the resurrection and that you will see her again some day!! What else can sustain you during this time?
