Notes of encouragement for Nancy and tributes to Robert
Nancy, yo también perdí a mi esposo amado, se del dolor que puedas estar pasando qué una cree que no puede sobrevivir humanamente, pero Dios sabe tu dolor, El es consolador y te dará las fuerzas para continuar. Mis oraciones contigo y la familia.
I would like to give a word of encouragement to Nancy that without a doubt the Lord will continue to see her through this story the Lord has written in her life. I thank her for being a great example to me as a Godly woman. I am also a widow, and can identify with what she is experiencing right now. Yes, truly the Lord is on the throne and always in control. Love you Sister in Christ
Dearest Nancy: I am praying for you and your step-daughters in the homegoing of your beloved Robert. Yes, he is home with the Lord. He is safe, and you will see him again. What joy and hope! But there is also pain and an ache in your heart from such a loss as this. "He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds." (Ps. 147:3) I know our Father will be faithful in the days, weeks, months ahead to heal and bind up. In those days and moments when sadness or loneliness overwhelms you, may our Emmanuel's loving presence be your strength and peace. What a comfort to know we are never alone; God is always with us, and His steadfast love endures forever. "Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant." (Ps. 119:76) Praying, dear Nancy.
Dear Nancy— Your deep faith in Jesus has been such a testimony to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives, together with Robert over the last 10 years, as you put your faith in action in your marriage to Robert. From another who found true love later in life, I can attest to the beautiful gift it is from Jesus. I appreciate this last hard season for you, watching Robert go home to Jesus. I consider this a ‘preparation gift’ to me, with my husband of 38 years ( he is 87) diminishing in strength, due to congestive heart failure. You will continue to be in my prayers.
dear nancy may god confromt you
God bless you, Nancy in this time and season of your life. I listen to you often on the radio and you have changed my life. This saddens me but no one day will be with our creator again. God bless you. Send many hugs to you and your family.
Nancy, in life, in sickness, and now in death, you have walked out the Gospel. I cried when you two married. I cry now that Robert has received the ultimate promotion. But, I praise God for both of your lives. Thanks for being His servants. I will pray for you, for your strength and comfort, and joy. Heaven does rule, and Jesus is near.
Nancy, Robert’s 2 daughters, the 5 grandchildren, and the 3 great grandchildren, I’m expressing my sympathy to you all for the loss of this loving, godly husband, father, grandpa, and great grandpa. God has you all safely in His hands and will comfort you through the promises of His Word, His Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence as a child of God, and through the countless people who have become aware of Robert’s homegoing this morning. I understand this loss of a beloved husband due to my husband’s passing almost 2 1/2 years ago. We sorrow their departure from being absent from us, but we rejoice in God’s will for their lives to forever be with Him, their Creator, God Almighty. We have sea confident expectation that we will be together again…and maybe EVEN TODAY if Christ were to come back. May we keep our lamps burning brightly so others can see God’s reflective peace and joy that is given as a gift from our REDEEMER. Hallelujah, Nancy and family!
Praying for the family in this time. I received a Dad's Devotional Bible years ago when my kids were young and spent many a chaotic morning appreciating Robert's insight into the Word. Recently I dusted it off and have been using for my daily reading. I am thankful for his willingness to share and be honest about the struggles dads face. God Bless.
It’s a bitter sweet moment but your words not only brings hope to us all but a testimony of someone who walked and knew God and finished the race well May God comfort your heart ❤️ We may think 10 years was to short but by Gods perspective it was the time needed for his will to be accomplished in both of you To God be the glory 🙏🏻
Words seem so trivial in these moments. Nancy, I wish I could hug you. To sit in silence with you. I sit here, weeping with the loss of a man that I did not have the privilege of knowing. As soon as Robert's bible for men came out, I bought one for my husband. I didn't know him, hadn't read his books, but I knew you from listening to ROH on the radio. I knew if you married him, he was a solid man. The dearest memory I have of you both, happened during a live recording that I had the privilege of attending online. At the end he came in and knelt beside you. It was so sweet to watch the way you interacted. It was easy to see you deeply loved and respected each other. And he kissed you, right there. More than once. My Mom just reminded me of the words you said right after, "Did we really just do that?" Yes, you did. And it was almost as if we were your kids and through that simple exchange, you showed us by example what a good, godly marriage looks like. The respect. The tenderness. The deep love. You gave us a marriage to look up to and encouraged us that such marriages do exist. Thank you. Keeping you in our prayers!
Nancy, sending a hug your way, though it’s the arms of your dear Robert you most desire. A friend knowing of my husband’s passing shared, “Grief is the last act of love we give to those we love. Where there is deep grief, there is deep love.” God bless you and hold you close.
I will always be thankful for many bible verses read and books. and to read your Bible. We are sorry for your loss, Robert .
Dear Nancy, My heart grieves for the loss of your sweet husband. Thank you for being a shining light for the Lord in spite of such a difficult time. A few years ago when I was grieving I was reading through the Bible and happened (the Lord led me) to read Psalm 116:15. Just when I had been thinking that there was nothing the Lord could speak to me, I was so sad and down, I read, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." I realized that although I was in grief, this moment was precious in God's eyes. I will continue to pray for you as you work through your grief. May God comfort you and all the family and grant you His perfect peace. In Christ, Laurie Driesen
Dear Nancy, I praise GOD with you for His love for us and the promise of our home in heaven. I pray God's blessings upon you as you continue to serve HIM, knowing He is always there for you. "I can do all things through Christ who strengths."
My prayers are with you. May Yahshua bring you comfort through this tough time.
Dear Nancy, I’ll pray for you sister in Jesus. Widowhood is hard, but Jesus is good. You are correct … we will see our husbands again when we too enter our Lord’s presence. I hope we can hug or at least hold hands with them. God bless you Nancy as you walk this new path. Thankfully Jesus is walking with you. Prayers for you and all the family. Lovingly….
Nancy, Grief is the journey no one wants to walk and yet we all have to do it. It is a journey that is different for every person. I have listened since the beginning and before that with Elizabeth Elliot. I have rejoiced with your meeting Robert, in your wedding that honored our Lord and in how Robert took care of his great treasure and pearl that you were to him. There will be difficult days, and there will be days when you want to hide. When you are ready, you will someday, perhaps, share some of the details of your journey with those of us who feel like family to you and know that we around the world, will all continue to pray for what you specifically say that you need to continue this life well. I will keep praying in this difficult and tender time. You have my greatest sympathy, Laura Smith
Sim, com lágrimas nos olhos li essa notícia já aguardada, porém não menos triste! Triste para quem fica, porém, esse irmão está agora com Cristo! Com alegria e admiração acompanhei a trajetória de Nancy e Robert desde o matrimônio, e agora vendo o amado irmão chegar na sua Casa final, parece que foi alguém da minha igreja local a quem admirava! Que o Senhor conforte Nancy e toda a família!
Nancy: You don't know me, but I feel like I know you so well since I have been a faithful listener (and supporter) of ROH. I started to listen to your daily podcasts sometime soon after you married Robert. I had read some of your books written when you were "Nancy Leigh DeMoss" but think of you as Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. I am sorry that it took a sad event like the loss of your husband for me to reach out to you, but please know that you have been and will continue to be in my prayers in the coming days. I celebrate with you that Robert has completed his race and even now has heard "well done good and faithful servant" in the glorious presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. I also share in your sorrow that the Lord's plans for you are to continue on with His work in the absence of your love, Robert. May you feel the power and comfort of the Lord in the coming days as you continue to serve Him. Stay strong sister.
