In HIS service Brother Dave

My sincere condolences to you Dave. May Dad rest in eternal peace with Jesus in Heaven. Saint Pio please grant an intercession and open the gates of Heaven and welcome him into your loving arms.

Whew...funeral is finally set and arranged for Wednesday afternoon! Geeze, they run ya so ragged, you don't have time to grieve for a week or so I bet!
next hurdle will be the finances and getting funds rolled around to pay his bills... hoo boy.
I do so appreciate everyone's caring sentiments.
I'd not find a shortcut thru the grief if I could find one...Dad deserves to be grieved.
He leaves a hole...

Doc, You will find right now it seems everything is a blurr but after all the arrangements are met and you are home alone you will have the time to grieve and we are here as your support group brother...I also wished we didn't live so far away so we can sit with you for awhile and talk..I found when my Mom passed that was the most comforting thing was having my friends stop by for a few hours...Try to get some rest and if ya need us here to chat with then chat away....While I'm here what was your favorite memory of Pop and you? Did you have a hunt or anything that really comes to mind that you will always cherrish? Have at it when you get a break ! Praying every day for you...God Bless Dave... Keefers <><

That's the part I'm dreading. I dunno how long my dad will be cranking along, and my brain glazes over when it encounters finances, insurance, taxes, etc.
Be careful throwing out old magazines. Killdeer

Kinda came to me this AM...this funeral day is like a final exam in college.
*Final in that it's my last parent *Final in that I've prepared the best I can but don't really know what to expect *Final in that when this exam is over, then I can get on to the business of grieving my Dad and saying good bye in my own time and way.
I like that. God provides the strength for all things to endure...He didn't promise we'd like it.
This too shall pass...in about 5 hrs it will be all said and done. Amen.
