Today at about 2:20 my wifes dad and one of the 2 or 3 most influential men in my life passed away peacefully after a long bout with brain cancer. He was truly like a second dad to me. Everyone is leaning on each other and God's grace ...we know there is no more suffering, no more need for morphine every 20 minutes and this is helping my wife a lot to deal with it, she was daddys little girl even at 45 yrs young. Having been by her dads side constantly for the past 8 weeks ( she had basically moved in and stayed day and night, sleeping in shifts) and seeing the unbelieveable pain and suffering he endured made it a little easier for her and her mom to let him go. You will be missed and we all love you mightily with all our hearts Pop ...see ya again later buddy .

    Somebody once told me on such an occasion: accept the peace, and let the rest go.

    Best wishes coming your way, Gene.

    Hey Gene, I'm sorry to hear about it, I know what a struggle it has been for you and your family. I guess if there is something positive to be taken away from this it's that now you know he's at peace and won't have to suffer any longer. My thoughts are with you and your family. Take care Gene.

    Death is nothing at all
    I have only slipped away into the next room
    I am I and you are you
    Whatever we were to each other
    That we are still
    Call me by my old familiar name
    Speak to me in the easy way you always used
    Put no difference into your tone
    Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
    Laugh as we always laughed
    At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
    Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
    Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
    Let it be spoken without effort
    Without the ghost of a shadow in it
    Life means all that it ever meant
    It is the same as it ever was
    There is absolute unbroken continuity
    What is death but a negligible accident?
    Why should I be out of mind
    Because I am out of sight?
    I am waiting for you for an interval
    Somewhere very near
    Just around the corner
    All is well.
    Nothing is past; nothing is lost
    One brief moment and all will be as it was before
    How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

    Think of him at peace and remember the good times and what he meant to you. My wife and I will keep you in our prayers.

    Condolences Gene, I just went through this very similar situation this summer. I thought it would mean that I could give you some profound advice, but I cannot. The pain is over for your father in law and the mourning cannot be rushed.

    I am sorry for your loss. No more suffering though. Keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    I'm really sorry to hear that gmill, It's hard when someone goes, you know they are in a better place, but you still wish they were with you. I hope you guys rely on each other in this hard time, and that all of you do okay.
