Lennie's Dad passed away this morning...

I am sure he had a wonderful, long, and pain free embrace from Lennie's mom and his parents when he passed. We are sad only for ourselves, and so happy for him. The funeral is most likely going to be Friday, we'll post more details when we get them finalized. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Sadly.....

Lennie's dad is not doing well. He has been in and out of the hospital for a few months, his heart and his kidneys are not functioning like they should, and now he is having difficulty swallowing and keeping food down. Medications are keeping his blood pressure up and dialysis is keeping fluid from building up in his body and causing extreme swelling. He coded last Sunday and they had to shock his heart to get it going again. As of yesterday, he has made the decision to stop all treatments and go to hospice where he can be kept comfortable until the Lord decides it is time for him to be reuinted with his sweetheart who passed away almost exactly a year ago. He is so lonely for her. We are not exactly sure how the next days/weeks will go, but they are sure to be very emotional. We love our families so much and are grateful for the Plan of Salvation, the Plan of Happiness.
