My wife and I sending prayers for you and your family Glenn

Praying

We are waiting for a room to open up at a local hospice we looked at yesterday. The hospital is basically kicking my dad out because he is no longer receiving treatment. I understand the reasons behind it. The hospice is really nice, quiet and spacious. They are not cheap, but he will be comfortable.

Glenn, that must be a very difficult time for your family. God bless all of you.

Praying for him and your family Glenn. I know this is difficult for you all.

Glenn, I am so sorry to hear this.
I will keep your dad, you and your family in my prayers.

Glenn, I too will continue to pray for your dad and all your family. I know what you're going through is tough and my heart aches for you.

Thanks guys. We got him settled into his hospice room. It is large, with plenty of comfy chairs. Certainly more comfortable than the hospital room.

Glenn - having been down that road before I know where you at (mentally) right now. I will continue to send blessings your way and hope that they in some small way hep support you and your family. Godspeed my friend.

No change in my dad's situation, but I was part of a really nice ceremony today. The local hospice community has been working with the VA for the last few years on a program to honor veterans in hospices. They come in and have a ceremony with a pin and a certificate to recognize the patient for their military service. As a USAF veteran, like him, they asked me to speak and present the pin to my father. My 2 sisters are Army veterans, and my brother and brother-in-law are also USAF veterans. One of the nurses was a Navy veteran also, so she joined us also.

It was a huge honor for me to do it, I managed to hold it together till the end.

God bless you, Glenn.

What a wonderful thing to do! That's pretty great Glenn. Thanks for sharing that.

Hey guys, my dad passed last night. He was unresponsive all day, then went peacefully in his sleep, Don't think he felt a thing. We should all be so lucky.

Thanks so much for all the prayers and thoughts, they have helped us through this difficult time.


Here we are, about 6 years ago at my parents' 50th.

So sorry for your loss Glenn. That is a real blessing that he went peacefully.

Continued prayers for you and yours.

Aww Glenn - this breaks my heart but as Colonel said it is a blessing that he was called home peacefully. Today I will tote the black Camillus 72 that you reworked for me so I can keep you and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed my friend.

So sorry to hear that Glenn. It's a bitter pill to swallow but sooner or later it comes to us all. My most sincere condolences to you and your family.

I pray that's the way I go some day - surrounded by family, pass in my sleep.
I know you'll miss him, buddy. I'm glad you got to experience what you did while he was in hospice.
Just a few more moments to add to your bank of memories.

Glenn,
That's a great picture of your dad and you. Praying you and all those involved will have peace about his passing. The next days may be difficult but you can hold your heads high because you did all that could be done to keep him comfortable. The account of the VA ceremony was very special.
God bless you and your family.
