Yesterday morning 8/8/07 @ 6AM my father lost his 5 year struggle against ALS,
He was very smart, and was a self made man who provided very well for his family through hard work and very shrewd stock investments.
He will be sorely missed by family
and a myriad of friends.
All through his struggle with a terrible disease he never lost his sense of humor.
I've been helping care for him 24/7 for the last 2 years and I now have a gaping hole in my heart that cannot be filled. He made me the die-hard conservative that I am today
My only solace is knowing that he died in peace, in my mother's arms.
God bless Dad I hope you've found peace. The pain is now over.
Love, Brian
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. After a while that big hole you feel right now will be filled by wonderful memories of your dad. It will take time, and you’ll never be without that emptiness, but his goodness as a father and husband with be enough to bring you through.
My condolences.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Prayers sent to you and your family. He sounded like a wonderful person.
((hugs))
My prayers for your family. Dad is in the hands of his loving Father, whole again.
Prayers
