I am honored that I was there with you for the last hours and moments of your life. I truly believe that is how it was meant to be and I take comfort knowing you are now at peace and free from the pain and suffering of the past year. I received your sign you sent me to let me know that you are here with me and you are finally at peace. You are a true warrior and fought right up until your last breath. Now go play some golf with Uncle Runyon and give grandma a big hug and kiss. Always in our hearts, Love you always, your daughter Susan
Dad you were the kindest most gentle and patient man that I will ever know. I cherish all of the memories forever.
