[nfbwatlk] My Dad

Mon Dec 29 17:37:18 UTC 2014

Hello Lauren, I too wish to express condolences, as some may know I lost my father earlier this year and certainly miss him especially during this holiday season it seems. Things hopefully it will get better for you but unfortunately it seems only time and all of those fun memories not the sad ones will always stay with you.

So I’m certainly keeping the you in my thoughts and prayers and may the Lord bless you and keep you always.

Sincerely Maurice mines.

After much stubbornness on the part of both of my parents, they just moved on Monday to an assisted living facility with Dad receiving hospice.

She may elect to stay at the assisted living facility though I know she really would like to go back home. I hope she can make some new friends there. I am kind of up and down; okay sometimes, not others.  I will be going back to NE in the winter, which I said I'd never do again! I leave on the 3 of Jan. and the memorial service will be on the 5 of Jan.
