Early this afternoon, Norman Francis Boyd began the next step on his Journey. This is not a time of sadness. It is a time to celebrate his 80 years, 1 month and 4 days on earth. October 7 1933 - November 11 2013. Veteran of the Korean War. Served in the Army and the US Air Force Reserves. We've known this was coming. His illness progressed in early August. He entered Hospice in September. The past year has been very difficult for him since yet another stroke. He never fully rebounded from it. He could not eat or drink -- and he really has always enjoyed both. Quality of life was diminished to the point he was looking forward to his end of life. I only wish that his final wishes of dying in his home in Kona, Hawaii had been able to have been fulfilled. There were things beyond control that prevented it. I am very grateful to our niece who looked after our brother and his needs for so long. She did everything possible to ensure he had the best of care and that all his wishes were met. His obituary will appear in several newspapers in the areas he lived. Services are pending. Yours Aye, Lauren

Lauren, Mary and I were saddened by the news of the death of your brother. We send our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My family and I send our heartfelt condolences, Lauren, and want you to know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers. Being about same age as your Father, I find your words "This is not a time of sadness but a time to celebrate his time on earth," as beautiful and very meaningful.

Don: Thank you. However, lol, if you are the same age as my father.... you'd be turning 100 in December! It is my brother, who is also my Godfather, who died today. He was 80, 1 month and 4 days on this earth. He was more than ready to go and looked forward to this day. I find it fitting that it is Veteran's day.

Dear Don -- No apology necessary. I perhaps should not have teased you about feeling 100 in my response. My brother served in Korea, however, he was also stationed in Japan and had a life long love for the country and its people.
