Passing

Over the last two years Johnny and his brothers have been caring for their Dad and their Aunt Fern. During the day we've had a care giver that's been able to lesson the load. Johnny, my brother-in laws and sister-in laws have stood strong for the last 2 years not wavering in the care they've provided for their Dad and their Aunt Fern. Last Thursday Johnny's Dad, James went home to be with the Lord. His boys unwavering dedication remained strong. After his passing the boys and the grandson's all helped bath and dress James prior to the funeral home coming into the home. Then the day of the funeral the boys met early at the cemetery and dug their Dad's grave. After the services were over two of the boys and a few of the grandson's and family members remained behind to bury him. James was a very dedicated father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was not much of a talker but he spoke wonders with his actions. He loved to joke around and he loved to spend time with his grandkids. I wanted to take this opportunity to recognize James and the great job he did raising his four boys. I also want to recognize his boys and our entire family for the dedication not only to James but to one another. For anyone that has cared for a loved one in the home you know what time and dedication it takes from everyone to provide the proper care needed. Our families still continue to stand firm and are dedicated to continue to care for Aunt Fern. We ask for your prayers during this difficult time.

Blessings to each of you.

  2. I have gotten her medicals and we are reviewing those. She has CP but it looks to be very slight. She is from India. We hope to make a decision in a couple of weeks.
