Daddy departed this life at 7:15 this morning, August 1, in peace. With great fortitude he endured the long journey, and we know the Lord has allowed him to enter His rest. I am grateful that, as a very proud father, Daddy got the chance to see his children mature into competent and compassionate adults and to know and delight in his grandchildren -- 16 and counting! I thank God for our opportunity to love and care for Daddy through his trial and to say our goodbyes, and especially, for Mom's faith and peace in Christ.
May God bless all the family, friends, medical caregivers and others, known and unknown, who have helped our family. In love, Alexine
..."The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
