Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Dear Group: This is to let people know that my husband of almost 40 years passed away April 25th. The past few months have been difficult ones, but Jack did not want any tubes or extra measures to prolong his life. We lived a full one to the end. In February he asked to go to our beach house one last time. My sister and brother-in-law helped us do that and God gave us a beautiful weekend of sun. The Sunday before his death we went on a nice country ride, but by the time we made it home he was very tired. He kept getting pneumonia. We had the funeral Tuesday and 200 people came to send him off with prayers and song as he would have liked. He had a strong faith in God and knew the Lord was waiting for him. He is now at peace and watching over us all. He did donate his brain tissue to University of Vanderbilt in hope they can find a way to help others in the future. Hugs to all, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Judy - You were such a great care/love giver to Jack. We know you will miss him, but also know that your faith will see you through the next few months. You were fortunate to have been able to go to your beach house and on the country drive so recently. May those bittersweet memories and the memories of happier times years ago sustain you and bring peace to your heart. Our love and prayers are with you. Ned and Judy.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Judy, God bless you and keep you during your time of grieving with Jack's passing. I am so glad that you were able to make his last wishes a reality. I am sure that knowing Jack is no longer in pain and is in heaven has helped you during this time. There was almost 40 years of love and you were both truly blessed. God bless, Belinda > Dear Group: This is to let people know that my husband of almost 40 years > passed away April 25th.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Dear Judy, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my dad on May 4, the last 4 weeks had really been difficult for him. I know that he is at peace. He was diagnosed with shydragers 5 years ago. He was put in the hospital on 3-17-2002 for pneumonia and still did not want the g-tube, but before he left on April 4, he decided to get it, but could only tolerate 10cc per hour. He live one month after getting out of the hospital. It was hard at first, but now I know he is better off. Dee/NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
