Dad's journey ended tonight

Postby plgirl » Wed Jul 24, 2013 12:49 am

I rarely posted here...I think just once...but I want to thank you all. I've read this board so often over the last 5 years or so and I've learned so much. Tonight my dad lost his battle with the beast but heaven gained an amazing soul.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to other things at 89 years old on June 6, 2013. He had suffered for so long from his illnesses although not cancer that I have been unable to even shed a tear for him. He is no longer in pain, is not bed ridden, and he lived a long life. I know everyone can't feel the way I do but I wish you peace and load lifted knowing he is no longer suffering and in a heavenly place like no other. Hugs to you!
