Kevin,
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and I will keep you, your mom
and Amy in my prayers. A lot of what you describe in this email and in the
one you sent yesterday, I think, is very familiar to me. My mom went
through much of the same thing although in a very short time frame. It was
also helpful that I knew she didn't want anything in the way of
extraordinary measures, did not want to be resuscitated, etc., but it was
still very hard to be asked those questions and it makes you wonder whether
the medical people have just given up on helping the patient. Ultimately,
it's just so hard to watch someone you love suffer like that and be helpless
to do anything about it. But at least you know that now your dad is at
peace and free from pain. And you know that he knew you loved him and tried
to help him. I will continue to pray for your whole family.
Liz

I wish I had time right now to write each of you
personally; I am so thankful for everyone's support.

Dad died this morning. Last night he thrashed about,
trying to rip his gown off and get out of bed. These
agitated protests had become quite common the
last few weeks. I told him that if he wanted out of
his bed, he would have to relax and let God get him
out. God is good. Trust Him. His arms fell to his
sides and he relaxed. That was the last I saw him.
I believe he trusted in God, and I rejoice in His
great love and mercy

Thanks again for your friendship and support.
