Sorry to hear this, Bill. May the Merciful ease his days, and give strength to him, to you, and the rest of your family.
 
my dad passed away 3months ago bill i unlike the rest of my family didant grieve for him.
i have come to realise death is a natural progression of life.
(from the momment we are concieved we begin to die):)

so dont grieve when he passes on celebrate his life,and realise no one close to us ever passes away completely.they live on in our hearts and minds.
that is the way our creator ment it to be. regards kendo:)
 
...Our thoughts and hearts are with you and yours. I can only hope I am so well attended and missed when it is my turn to go to the great mystery. He will find his way to his ancestors.

Very Sad news Uncle, I will pray for Great Uncle Frank and yor family. Not an easy time but he is old and has lived a full life !!

Will pray for a peaceful, painless transition.

:(
 
Much and most sincere thanks to all.

I'm on my way back to shave Dad and trim his mustache at his request. My sincere hope is I can get him home, in his favorite chair, and see him smoking his last few cigarettes before he goes. Don't want to see him go in the sterile atmosphere of St. Johns.

It's a tough time but when I saw him in May I knew he was not to be with us much longer so I have dealt with the loss already and am now prepared to do what must be done. Nobody else seems to be but thank God I am. God has given me the strength and courage I asked for -- prayers work.

Thanks again all from the bottom of my heart.

Back and posting when I can.
 
I hope you and your father get home in time.

My dad passed 2 weeks ago with me there by his side. We had the chance to have all the family come by and give prayers.

There's been a lot of changes going on lately.

Bill it won't be long and your dad will be better off than all of the rest of us.
I bet he's better prepared and ready to go than the rest of the family, and perhaps yourself, knows.
You are doing the right thing and blessings on you for that. My old man started smoking again after he came to visit me and I asked why he had quit at his age since he enjoyed it so much.

Above all take care of the living as long as they are, yourself included.
 
I'm so sorry Bill. Prayers are going with you and your Dad, I'm sure he knows and appreciates what you're doing for him and the times you've spent together recently. Take care of yourself and your family first, don't worry about us. We'll still be here when you've taken care of things at home.
 
just look at all the responses posted, what a treasure you have ...all these friends with thoughts of you
 
Prayers here too, Mr. Martino.

Do get him home and out of the hospital. My Dad passed away three years ago from cancer and we managed to get him to a beautiful home like hospice for the last week of his life. It was so much better than the sterile hospital. It was so much easier for everyone to visit and be around especially right at the end. Cherish the time left.

Uncle Bill,
I hope Great Uncle Frank's transition is peaceful. I'm praying for you each night that God will give you and your family strength to get thru this trying time. He's already helping Great Uncle Frank, I'm sure of it.
God Bless you and your family.

There is heart ( the physical dimension ) and then there is HEART ( the spiritual dimension ).

He must be getting very tired, but still have things to do before letting go. As said above, it won't be long, then it will have been accomplished.

Prayers that both of you can accept this as a special time.
