RE: my loss

Dear Ceres,

I'm sorry to hear about the death of your father.  He will be with you
still, but in a different way.  I really believe that our loved ones
give us signs of their continued presence.  At these times families draw
closer which is a bitter sweet gift.  You have my prayers.

Dear Friends, my father expired yesterday morning (Wed).  He fell in the

nursing home and broke his hip  a week ago last Sat and had been in the 
hospital till Tues when we moved him to Hospice.  He put a tough
struggle in 
the hospital but deteriorated each day.  I am so happy his last day was
spent 
at Hospice.  I wish I could express how wonderful the H staff was. I was
with 
dad from Tues morning, holding his hand thru the night till he took his
last 
breath about 9:30 Wed morn.  He had not responded in the night but
opened his 
eyes for a brief time yet unable to talk. We assured him we loved him,
said 
our good-byes and he closed his eyes.  Unfortunately, a sister and
brother 
who live in Calif were trying to reach him but arrived to late.
    Heavy rains continue here on the prairie and hail twice in the past
2 
days.
        Ceres
