Dear Friends, I wanted to tell you all that my dad passed away last night. His passing was peaceful and pain free and the family was there with him.

We admitted him to hospice 9 days ago and he declined very quickly. Every day brought a new decline - it was heartbreaking. But hospice was absolutely wonderful in helping us to keep him comfortable. They supported my dad and the entire family. I will be eternally grateful to the nurses and aids for their kindness.

I will miss my dad for the rest of my life, but he is now resting with the angels and reunited wth my mom.

Dear Sherry
I am so sorry for your loss.I know from my own experience the comfort to be found in future days from being there at the end and from the certainty that you did everything you could for your Dad.Concentrate on this and on the happy memories you will surely have and try to give no room to the what ifs that may try to creep in.Your Dad lived and died with love and you will get through this to happier times when you can smile when you think of him.
