Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Dear , Sending you most sincere sympathy upon the loss of your father. I am sure that he is at peace now. My father died the year after their 50th wedding anniversary, and my mother never stopped missing him so much. There is an old saying that a happy marriage is like a wonderful conversation--that always ends too soon. What kept my mom going for the next six years were her grandchildren. I hope that you and your mother and your whole family will be brought closer by this loss. Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 , I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds as if your family reacts like most in crisis, but so stressful I can imagine. You say your father had alot of health problems so hopefully he at least is no longer suffering now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I was gonna post to you about the last post you wrote about UTIs/kidney infections- sorry you are having to deal with those too, ill talk more with you about them later though because I know you have so much going on. Keep me posted though. Wish I could do more for you. take care, Adrienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi , I'm just getting back to reading groups mail from my return home and found this message. I wanted to be sure to send you my sincere condolences. No matter how old our parents get, it's very difficult to see them pass on. Please know that I am thinking of you and your Mom during these difficult days.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi, Thank you to everyone for your condolences on my father's passing. It still doesn't seem quite real yet, but we're all doing okay. We're just grateful that he went quickly. He's had so many trips to the ER and been in the ICU so many times over the years that we, including him, couldn't go through that again. We know that it really was his time to move on to a better place. Now it's going to be time for me to move. For a lot of different reasons, I'm going to be selling my little,old house, and move in with my mom at her bigger, nicer, newer house. She really doesn't want to be alone, and it's helping to occupy her and my mind making plans and all. We know that my father would want it this way. The family is getting together this week to spread his ashes on the mountain that he loved. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
