Maureen’s Dad
I forwarded an email from Maureen, but also will post her message here:
I am once again am writing this from a strange computer and don’t have everyones address… Was able to bring my dad to Kitty’s house today in anticipation of a 3 day bed side vigil. He was here for 1 hour and died very peacefully for which we are thankful. After all the struggles he had these past few years he deserved the peacefully.

Next entry: CC this Thursday the 21st at Maureens

Maureen, I know, even though you were somewhat prepared, I don’t think anyone is ever really ready for a parent to pass away. My prayers and thoughts are with you. You are very lucky to have siblings as a support system as well as friends.How long do you think you will stay with the family?

thank you for your thoughts. Having many siblings can be a curse though when trying to plan a service!!!
I am trying to finish planning with my sister so that I can come home Tues or Wed. before heading back the following Thurs. The service is scheduled for July 31st with interment on Mon Aug 1st… government doesn’t bury on weekends at their cemeteries…
I’ll take you up on the walk Susan… haven’t had time to get any exercise for a week now…
One good thing… hopefully Dave will have the bathrooms painted before I get home…

Thank you for the update Maureen, I am sure that it isn’t easy to please everyone, but I know that the service will be very meaningful and honor your dad’s memory. Fo all who can make it, let’s go for this coming Thursday night at Starbucks, 7:30 pm.

I should be there but may be a few minutes late. Shall we sit outside again?

Let’s try for outside, unless it is still roasting - which it may be - I hear it will reach nearly 100 on Wednesday.

Maureen
What sadness mixed with relief for you, your Dad and your family. All of your siblings had the opportunity to visit for a final time, your dad joined you for the festive marriage celebration with wonderful photos to mark the day and you dad was alert and ready with his final plans. Somehow even yet his death seems to be rather sudden. But it is wonderful that he didn’t have to struggle on in misery or confusion. It must be a blessing and a comfort that you were able to be there at the end. Thoughts and prayers headed your way. I am ready to join you in walks to listen to your story. Peace.
