My Dad

Passed away in his sleep yesterday, after a long battle with emphysema and COPD. We are terribly sad.


Finally he is peace.

Sue, I am so sorry. Losing a parent at any age is tough. I was glad that you got to visit with him last week.
May your dad rest in peace.

Sue, I'm so glad you and your siblings got to see your father right before he died and show him how much he was loved. I love this photo of him. So sorry for your loss.

COPD and emphysema are so difficult, I am sure your Dad is breathing effortlessly now in a better place.

I am so sorry for your loss Sue, and also glad you got to see him just a few weeks ago. Whenever I see someone unplugging an appliance from the wall I now make your dad's zzzzzt! sound. You are lucky to have inherited his sense of humor.

My dad died this year at 93--and yes it was not surprising that one so old passed away. But it IS surprising to no longer have someone who has known you all your life. I still find myself collecting tidbits of stories to share with him.

What a handsome man, so fortunate to live long and go in his sleep, leaving behind good memories for you.

Sue,
I lost my Dad many years ago at age 8 yrs old. It's difficult to loose a parent at any age. My mother also died of COPD/Emphysema, so I know how awful that cam be. Know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember the many memeories of a wonderful Dad.
