Douglas Sevcik Obituary

Dear Bettie and Family,
Words cannot describe the depth of your loss. I am so sorry to hear of Doug's death. I lost my first child to kidney disease so I know that this is a pain you will always bear. Time does heal somewhat, and a grief group and counselor will also help. Know that many people are praying for Doug and your family. I hope the day will come soon that you will be able to think about Doug and smile and not be taken over again by tears. Know that I am here for you. With love,

Sevcik Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. We are sorry for your loss. May his memory be eternal.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glintz of snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumns rain
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I'm the joy inside your heart
It's from this place I'll never part

Dear Sevick Family
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during these difficult times.
Our prayers are with you.
Mr. & Mrs Ray Pahnke Sr.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
