Thank you Pamela, for posting about my father! That was so very kind of you, you are wonderful! As Pam already knows now, my Dad died on Wednesday afternoon. He had many health problems and had smoked for 60 years. We didn't get to say good bye, but my Mom and I were there when he died. He had been in a coma more or less all that day, and he died very peacefully. He took three deep breaths and I kissed him on the cheek and as soon as I did, he died. It could have been so much worse. He was only in the hospital for a couple days. I thank God for His mercy in not allowing him to suffer. Thanks to all of you who prayed for my Dad and our family. Please continue to pray for us, God bless you all! What a wonderful, compassionate group of people there are on this site!
