I want to tell each of you thank you for the warm wishes, advice and prayers for Daddy. He was determined to fight the cancer full on and be at his grandaughters wedding. However the growth of the cancer was outdistancing the chemo. He was horribly ill and the tumor has grown out of control. They have stopped all treatments and hospice tells us he could be gone in a day or 2. They don't think it will be longer than a week or so.
We are blessed that he's home and we've got this time with him. I was able to climb up in bed with him, laugh, cry and talk. He's constantly patting my arm and rubbing my hair. (Still worrying about us.) His sense of humor is still there. He's so strong emotionally. Daddy's very gracious in the face of this and I am so proud of him. I wish you all could have known him, he's so amazing.
I won't be here, but I know you will remember us. Jen-ay I have those numbers and will call if I need anything. If you don't hear from me you'll know we are ok. I'll look forward to having a drink with you and sharing our Daddy stories.
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and your friendship.
I'll be back when I can to catch up on Ms Kittys wit, find out how the beach looks, hear about Audie's tan and enjoy all the Funn y'all bring to my day.

Lynne,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. But, it will get better after some time. I'm sitting here flooded by the sweet memories of my own father - his life, his death - and know what you're going through. Take care of yourself and your loved ones & there will soon be happier times.

Lynne, our deepest sympathies go out to you and all of your family. It is a tragedy but everything and everyone has a higher purpose and God has called your father to his.
