rayroy Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Dad passed away last night at 10:05 pm. He got the last rites 5 hours before. I told him that I would take care of Mom and the family. He was a great man who battled with everything he had and was very brave. Later I will write about this great man and his history. I will be back and remain in this supporting community. May dad rest in peace and I will see him again one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Rayroy, Please accept my condolences for the loss of your Father. From following your writings here I know what a wonderful person he was. Your assurances that you will care for your Mother and the family, and the way you have been there for him over all of these months was a source of comfort to him while he lived. I hope that you can find consolation in that. Prayers to you and yours for strength and peace, and a personal thank you for your promise to remain with this group in the future. Once again, I am very sorry for your loss. Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Dear Ray- I have tears in my eyes as I post this. I'm very glad your dad's suffering is over and that he died peacefully. This is very hard on you. I admire the way you were always "there" for him and the fact that you will continue to be there for your mom...I'm sure that gave your father a lot of peace of mind. Will wait to hear from you when the time is right. Blessings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
