Thank you so much ((((((((((((((everyone)))))))))))))))

I'll be back full-swing Monday, I hope.

The funeral is Saturday. It will be a sad day. He was a good man in so many ways. Mostly, he was good to my mother these last years.

He wasn't ready to pass. He did on his feet, literally. He refused to listen to the doctors and lived his life until the last moment.

My mother's really excited for him that the prison he ritired from will be giving him honors (even though it's out of state) and placing guards and showing respect. He was also a marine for a short time and will have that honor. She's so pleased about that. He was well respected.
