Gary N. Posted June 21, 2011 #1 Posted June 21, 2011 Just to let my VR family and friends know that my dad passed on today, the 16th anniversary of my mothers death. I was honoured to be able to have one last father's day with him yesterday and even though he wasn't awake I gave him a shave and I think he knew I was there. Dad has been in failing health for the last few months and although we knew his time was near, it doesn't make it any easier. He was 91 years old and he lived a long and full life.

mini-muffin Posted June 21, 2011 #14 Posted June 21, 2011 Just think of all that he witnessed in those years. Must have had some wonderful stories to tell of when he was younger. You were very lucky and blessed to have him as long as you did. I hope his passing was peaceful. Margaret
