Tank you all for your love and support. It's been rough but he was worth every minute of it. I thank the good Lord for not allowing him to suffer. When it was time for him to go , he was ready and I asked him 2 weeks ago had he made peace with God. He said "yes" and then began singing "Love lifted me" and "I shall not be moved to the top of his lungs. God bless his beloved soul. We will all miss him dearly. His silly smile and his funny jokes.

Thanks again
All my Love,
Carol
