His passing was all that I had hoped it would be. He simply stopped breathing. He looked so at peace after that. No more struggling for breath. No more being confined to the bed when he wanted so badly to get up and walk. I know that he is no longer gasping for breath and is dancing with my mom again.

Tomorrow morning we meet with the pastor and the funeral director to make arrangements. Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts over the months that have been so difficult for me........ kaci

Kaci, (((((Hugs))))). You'll always have

precious memories of them.

I'll be keeping you and your family in

my prayers; God has a way of replacing

our sorrow with joy and for that I am

forever thankful.

love,

Cindy

My condolences Kaci. I agree, your parents are gazing into each others eyes with loving smiles on their faces as they dance among the heavens. Many Hugs, Cappy

Kaci, my sympathy to you and yours. Take comfort in the fact that your Dad did not have to lay and suffer long. My own mother has laid in a bed in a nursing home for 6 years now, unable to sit up. It is so hard to see that.

And I love the image of your Mom and Dad dancing together once again....

It's a lucky daughter to have such good memories!

Hugs, Char

I am sorry to hear about your Dad's passing...although they are never truly lost...that physical connection is gone...and his voice will always be with you..those "whispers within"..and I am sure he is with your Mom..as mine are...it is hard on the ones left behind..but I will tell you this..the first time I felt bad because I missed our regular Friday at 5pm phone calls, I decided I didn't need a phone to talk to him!! ..big hug for you..Dutch

I'm glad that he is no longer in pain. Sounds like he lived long enough that his passing was like my dad's. We all felt like my dad would be up there skimming rocks across the River Jordan and telling jokes with his brothers again. Ya might whisper to him to go find the Miller guys as they enjoy a good time. I know this will still be hard for you but it will ease. Hugs, BB

Kaci I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I know the pain and it does not go away for a while. Gald he was able to pass peacefully...such a blessing. I think your dad and mom will be dancing in each other's arms again and be as before. What more could we ask for?

Hugs, Ruthie

hugs, Lor

Dear Kaci,

I am so sorry for your loss, and at the same time, thankful that your dad's passing was peaceful. He is back together with your mom, and they are both in the presence of the Lord. It's hardest on us, the ones who are left behind, I lost my dad 17 yrs ago, and I still miss him terribly. I'm keeping you in my prayers Kaci, and remember, your mom and dad will always be with you, watching over you, and loving you always.

((((hugs))))..........Love,Alice
