I am so sorry for your loss.He was so special to enjoyed taken care of him. We became pretty close the last 2 yrs. I know he is much better off. He would tell me that it was just no fun not being able not to see and he was ready when the Lord was ready to take him. I know he is in good hands with his father in heaven. Loved him so! He will be missed!Love Cathy Schwab
