  • Funeral Visit

    I would so much like to thank all of you for your prayers, kind thoughts and words of encouragement. The trip was long. I was thankful to have learned a lot from reading Pops’s accounts of his father’s last days because I was somewhat prepared for the emotional roller-coaster ride.…

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words and encouraging comments and everyone’s support. I especially wish to thank Pops, for writing so eloquently and often poignantly about his father’s last days. It has been comforting in this time since mom has gotten sick. She is steadily declining to…
