Please convey my best wishes for a peaceful and warm passing. It is my hope
that he is surrounded by the ones he loves and whom love him.

In recent years we have had the opportunity to personally experience the
warmth and understanding on hospice people. Generally they are wonderful
people who have very broad shoulders.

No matter how we think we are prepared we never are. The only thing we
really have the ability to do is to accept. After all life is a terminal
disease.

All the best,
