About Aubrey Pilgrim, from his Niece

[Guest guest]

Darry would you mind posting it for me?

Aubrey Pilgrim was diagnosed with brain tumor in May. We thought we

had more time with him. On June 19th he had a stroke and hospice was

called in. He talked on the phone that evening with brother(who was

diagnosesd with prostrate cancer two months before) and two sisters.

His siblings were already planning to fly out to see him for his

birthday as a surprise. They flew out of Dallas on Sat. 21 and when

they arrived he could no longer talk or move his right side. On

Sunday he went into a coma for the better part of the day and came

out it that evening. He was awake, alert for his birthday on Monday

the 23rd. His youngest sister sat and talked to him all day about

family members and what ever she could think of to keep him

occupied. He would nod and smile at her or get teary eyed when she

did. He passed away at 11:50 PM on his birthday. True to his nature

he donated his body to science for futher research. It was sent to

Washington and when it is over his remains will be cremated and his

ashes spread with those of his wife, children, and a grand son in

the Mountains of Idaho. If you want to make a donation please donate

to any cancer organization and if you need an address for the cards

to be mailed to contact me at my email: MahaliaW@....

Thank you all and I wish you all the very best.
