I am so sorry to hear this. *gentle hugs*

Rest eternal grant unto your servant, Lord
And let light perpetual shine upon him.

Thanks, CZB! I really have found "grace equal to every need" so I am doing okay.

So sorry to hear the news. You and he were so special together. My heart goes out to you, your sister, and mother, as well as all those who knew and loved him. Huge hugs.

*thinking of you*

Thank you for sharing about him. He sounds like a fine man to have known.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. He sounds like a wonderful person - thank you for sharing a little bit about him. I'm also glad that you got to spend time with him near the end - I did that with my grandmother, and it made all the difference. *Hugs*

Thanks, and **hugs** back. Spending time with him at the end and before was really good for me--it made letting go more of a step in a process, if that makes sense.

Condolences. And hoping you can take at least a little comfort from knowing that a really bad event went pretty much as well as it could have.

Thank you. While there are things about his care I wish had been different, it did go about as well as one could reasonably expect. He made it through the holidays, which made it easier in many ways.
