I, too, am in tears as I read of his passing.  May the Lord give you much comfort at this time.  You fought a good fight.  With the others of the IHD family, I wish there was more I could do.  But please be constantly assured that you are not going through this alone.  Your IHD family is with you all the way.  :grouphug;
I am praying that you and the rest of the family find a special peace at this time.
Please inform us of final arrangements. :cuddle;

Add me to the list with tissue in hand and a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I read your post. The fact it was not unexpected doesn't make it any easier to read.

You did everything humanly possible to make his time, well, good.  Please try and take some time to look after yourself - no doubt the physical, mental and emotional exhaustion you have been holding off through this will hit.

Words fail me, dear Kitty Cat.

Please know that you are in our thoughts. Peace and love to you and yours.

I can well imagine that Mark is so grateful that you were able to face his illness and his passing with such calm determination. You gave him a priceless gift in keeping by him until the end. May he rest in peace.

I couldn't open this thread because I knew what it meant.
We lose folks around here, but it never gets easier.
I am so glad you were able to be there for him Kitty Cat.
I am sorry he's gone but the sweet idea of his last touch being your hand and your pups fur makes me know that he had gentle and loving end to his life.
Best wishes and love to you, take care.

Thank you all for the good wishes and thoughts.

Got home about an hour ago from the service, it was beautiful. I didn't expect it to be that awesome. Our priest gave a really amazing eulogy, he knew Mark well, very well. My daughter gave a very heart wrenching yet funny eulogy also.

The people who came out were there for Mark, for his love of life and his funny nature. Even the day he passed, his wisdom to our daughter was to "make sure mom doesn't eat stouffers!!" I was floored, but knowing how I won't cook for myself, I understand his comment. However, I said to my daughter, those were his words of wisdom to you????? She thought it was hysterically funny.

The week before Mark died, we had our pictures professionally taken for the church directory. Once those come in the mail, I will post our favorite for you.

This site is truly an amazing entity. Over the years with the dialysis issues, family issues, etc. You have helped my family and myself more than I ever thought possible.  You will always be in my heart and I will keep checking in. I start my social worker classes in Jan 2012, I can't wait to get started!
