It is with a very heavy heart that I report that my husband of almost 64 years passed Friday about 9:45 at home with all of his family around his bed. He has been going down hill from CHF and renal failure for about six months and lately had not been able to do much besides take care of himself-with a lot of help from me. I have been his full time nurse for about the last 4 months. We went to his nephrologist the previous Friday and he told him to think about diaysis. He was very weak Sat and Sunday and Monday , with my son we made the decision to call 911. He was in the hospital 3 days, came home to hospice and had a peaceful death in about 36 hours. I had to call my daugher to come home from Germany where she was on a very belated honeymoon, my wonderful gandson in law who is a computor whiz with Apple got all the family back. I am blessed with a very loving caring family. Three children, four grand children and their spouses. We are having a memorial service next Sat at our church where he gave and gave and spent some of the happiest hours of his retirement. My birthday was the 25th, and I put my ear down to his mouth and he sang happy birthday to me. I had asked God to let him live though that day, and He gave me 2 more days. I will be reading the list, and post when I get my head on straight. I told him I was going to bed on Thursday night and that I loved him, and whispered "I love you" His last words on earth. Lots of wonderful memories. For Richard O. Gathman 2-10-26 to 5-27-11. Thanks to all of you e-mail friends. Grace

Grace, I am so very, very sorry for you and for your family. You all will certainly be in my prayers for the strength to get through these next days and weeks, and for the comfort to persevere with getting through them. I am so happy you have nearly 64 years of wonderful and precious memories with Dick to sustain you when things get especially difficult. All my love, my thoughts, and my prayers are with you.
