SBeth Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. Bill's father, John, passed away just after midnight last night. Bill's daughter brought him home for a nap yesterday afternoon and in the early evening I took him back to the hospital so that we could both be with him. The nurse gave me the okay to enter the room...head cold germs and all, it was very obvious it would not make a difference. He passed away very very peacefully just after midnight. Bill's last words to his father were that he'd be joining him soon and they'd both be in a better place where there was no such thing as lung cancer. We are all at peace, thank you, my wonderful family here, for all your help. Here is John's obituary. SLOVACEK John E., beloved father of William (Beth) Slovacek, John Slovacek, Louis Slovacek, Vicki (Tony) Scalia and Tamara (Bob) Schulte; cherished by numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews; also survived by one sister. Resident of Reading, passed Monday, November 21, 2005, age 76. Friends may call from 10 A.M. until services at Noon, Friday, November 25 at Schmidt-Dhonau Funeral Home; 8633 Reading Rd., Reading. Memorials may be made to American Lung Association, 11113 Kenwood Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45242.

stand4hope Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Bill's last words to his father were that he'd be joining him soon and they'd both be in a better place where there was no such thing as lung cancer. Tears here with that line, but you're right, John and Don, and someday Bill, are in a place where there is NO LUNG CANCER!!!! and NO OTHER DISEASE OF ANY KIND! They will never have to HURT again. AMEN and THANK YOU, GOD!! Much love, hugs and prayers going out to you and Bill, and all of your family over this great loss. Love you, Beth!
