Sad news today

I have very bad news.

I just got an e-mail from Anny the youngest daughter of my uncle Arnold. She told me that her father and my Uncle had passed away peacefully in his sleep today, Thanksgiving day, at @ 12:3o.

I believe his eldest daughter Suzy was by his side. She has been faithfully sitting by his side for a while now keeping him company while his health declined. He was in the hospice hospital at the end.

Please take a moment and say a prayer for Arnold's family and his wife Vi during this time. Or if you like spare a good thought or two, or maybe light a candle if that is your belief (This link goes right to a virtual candle lighting site.)

Thank you everyone and God bless.

Dear Janice ~~ Deepest sympathy to you and the family of your uncle. It was nice he went quietly in his sleep. He wouldn't want you to be too sad. I hope your Thanksgiving was terrific.
Take great care, my friend, Love, Merle.

Hi Jeanette, Thank you.

Hi Kristen, Thank you.

Hi Merle, I am thankful too that he went in his sleep. Funny thing but on Thanksgiving my daughter and I didn't have much of an appetite and we both felt a little off. I found out later that he died at about the same time we had sat down to eat.

Hi Bethanne, I do appreciate the prayers that means a lot to me.

Take care everyone,
Janice~

Hi Jen, Yes as much as it sadens me to lose him, he isn't in any pain anymore.
