life and death decisions

[thrill]

Oh man, Sparks, so sorry to read what you're going through. I can't imagine.

Man, that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you & your family get through this hard time ok.

Thanks for the thoughts and words of encouragement.

My dad passed away on Monday. After discussions with the doctor my family determined that another surgery (if he survived it) would not give my dad the quality of life that he deserved.

If there is any silver lining to this it is all of the pictures, stories memories and support that we have gotten from friends and family.

Sorry to hear this. Hang in there as best you can.

My condolences, sparks.

I'm so sorry Sparks; the arbitrary hardiness and fragility of life is constantly shocking.

I hope your brother is okay as well.

My condolences as well, sparks. May your great memories of your dad help you with your mourning.

[thrill]

Oh man, sorry for your loss, sparks.

[Freed Roger]

So sorry. Hang in there.

I'm sorry, too, sparks. It sounds like a lot of people knew and loved him. I always enjoy your posts, and the class and smarts you bring to the board reflect well on him.
