My love has passed on

Postby Kathleen808 » Sun Aug 17, 2014 2:46 am

Dear Friends,

This is what we have sent out:

"My sweet, strong, amazing husband of 26 years passed away this morning just after sunrise in beautiful Lanikai surrounded by his family.

Mahalo nui loa to family and friends who have stayed with us through this journey.

Aloha no au la 'oe
I truly love you Dick"

For you, you know there is so much more. When the time comes I will write about our 5 days in hospice at our home. It was a very hard time but we are so pleased that he was home. When he passed this morning at 6:30am I was by his side with his best friend and sister. Our daughter and my mother entered the room within a few minutes. Once he journeyed on, we all felt so relieved that he was at peace. He fought so hard for so long and was ready to go. I know I am going to need you in the days ahead and I know you will be here.

Aloha,

Kathleen
