My dad died this this morning,had Chronic Myeloid Leukemia which he was battling for 7 years.He was getting in bad shape lately and the chemo and radation was not working.The cancer spread and doctors said there was not a thing they could not do anymore.He died at home at 5:00 in the morning,decided he wanted to go at home.Did get his wish and now no longer in pain.It hurts and understand he had enough of the pain.My mom is doing ok for the moment,my 2 brothers and I have been there for her.Great thing is he left a will so my brothers and I don't have fight over anything including my mom.I decided to take the rest of the week off and my patients understand why.Go to the funeral home for the visitation funeral dates and pick his casket out on Wendsday.Know we have a lot to do and one is go through the pictures.I know there is one with my dad and I sitting in front of his 1939 Oldsmobile and know I will be inheriting this car.

 

My sincerest condolences on your loss. I sympathize completely with your pain, and your families relief that your Father is no longer suffering.

Be Well,
Brett

My mom is not going to hurt for money,he gets a pension and she will get it.My dad was a retired pipe fitter and it is a good pension he received after retiring 8 years ago.Getting his social security as well and mom started looking into this already.

 

Sorry for you loss

 

My condolences to you and your family.

 

My condolences. Take it one step at a time.

 

Very sorry for your loss

 

I plan on driving the 1939 Olds to his funeral,said he always wanted it at his funeral before he died.It is going to take me time to cope with his death.I admit he gave me a better life when my family and I immigrated to the USA from Canada.His favorite word was eh a lot and I got it from him with eh being my favorite word as well.I do remember having a beer or two with him,I always had Labatt Blue which is my favorite beer brand and he had a Molson.

 

I'm glad you got to spend some quality time with your father. Family is all we really have in life. Everything else comes second and so forth. May he rest easy.

 

Im sorry for your loss

 

I'm sorry for your loss.

 

Condolences on your loss... May he rest in peace...

 

What union was he a member of? My dad was a fifty year member of Local 798 out of Tulsa OK.

 

My sincerest condolences to you and your family! The money we have put to curing cancer, you would have think we have a cure for most by now!

Sorry for your loss.

 

I know how you feel. My father passed in the morning 13 years ago of diabetes. At least he got a chance to ride in my convertible with the top down. He looked amazed by looking up the blue skies while I drove him home from the doctors. My condolences to you and your family.

 

Four years ago I lost my father, seems like yesterday. Sorry for your loss

 

Very sorry to read about your fathers passing.
You have my heartfelt sympathy

 

my condolences to you and your family

 

Sorry for your loss. My 80 year old father is just starting his first round of chemo and radiation ,so my heart goes out to you. I am a fitter out of 120 in Cleveland ,so sending you and your family strength.

 

Condolences to friends and family. I just recently lost my Mother. Dad is still with us.

 

So sorry for your loss. My pop is 90 and still doing fine. I don't know what I'm going to do when he goes, I can only imagine what you are going through now.... Tedd

 

It has been tough.Dad did walk me down the aisle 20 years ago when I got married to my husband.I call this one of the greatest memories how he was liked.Good thing is have support from friends of the family,my friends and my husband's family including my husband.Just went through pictures today,found one of my dad and I together drunk when I was 22 years old.Remember this one,I had 5 beers,4 shots and dad got me a very strong mixed drink.My mom smelled the liquor on my breathe and said I needed to get to bed.She was our designated driver that night.Mom said that is going to be shown.

 

My condolences to you and your family , Us Canadians we don't drink up here haha , so you had to go to the U.S to party with your Dad EH.
I hope you enjoy your Dads 39 Olds, take good care of it or him. Keep a picture of your Dad in a locket hanging from the mirror.
My dad is in my Olds !! He always has my backdoor !!
Wish you all the best!!

Eric

 

So sorry to hear about your Dad, you have my deepest condolences. May you and your family get through this difficult time with the Lord's blessing.

Anthony

 

my prayers and condolences

 

So sorry to hear about your father. I'm glad that you have many fond memories of him and your time together.

 

So sorry for your loss. My Mother passed away just a couple months ago from the exact same disease. I lost my Dad less than a year before that. Fortunately, my brothers and I were able to spend some great time with them near the end of their lives. Cherish the memories you have. Nothing but time will soften the pain but the great memories do help. God bless you and your family

 

Sorry to hear about your loss brother. Prayers to you and family

 

Sorry to hear of your loss. My Dad died 27 years ago, and I remember well having to pick out his casket and all the other sad details of that day. As I get older, I actually find myself thinking more and more about him (thankfully not in a sad way). But...I recently watched the Marc Cohn video "Silver Thunderbird" and was reduced for some reason to a blubbering mass.

 

Very sorry for your loss

 

I've lost both of my parents to cancer - very sorry for your loss.

 

Sorry for your loss.........

 

The funeral was today and it went well.Lots of tears and hugs from family and friends.Included my husband's family as well.There was a great lunch at the funeral as well.Visitation was yesterday,the outcome was great and we did talk memories.Played golf with him and a couple of his friends,my dad would have one of those blowing horns and he thought it was funny.Got him back finally one day,blew when he swung the golf club.Had his 1939 Oldsmobile there and his friend knew it was mine now.My mom,2 brothers and I are moving on after his death.Some people think use of drugs and alcohol solve this after a death of a loved one and is not.Moving on is the only option.

 

My condolences to you and your family. I am just beginning to understand and learn about what a terrible disease your father just passed away from. My Mother was just diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia last week and we have been in and out of Sloan Kettering since.

I'm sure your father will be smiling down on all of you when you pull up in the 39 Olds.
