He was a warrior and fought to the last days. He was diagnosed with CUP with mets to brain this past January. I placed him in Hopsice  by his wishes 2 days prior. He underwent 18 WBR treatments about two weeks before he passed. He lost his appetite about 1 month ago and became increasingly tired. He would sleep the majority of the days but my only comfort is that he was mentally with it the whole time. I placed him in a hospice home and they were wonderfull. He was at peace there. He knew he was going to die and accepted it and made peace with everyone. I wanted to see him this weekend but he left early. I prayed for a fast,peaceful and painless journey and I praise the Lord for my gift. A priest came to  pray over his body at his final hour. The priest knew my father's brother who was in the semenary together. My father's brother Albert passed  away by drowning while studying to be a priest when he was 14 years old and roomed with this priest. It was if his brother sent this priest for his last rights. My father never met this priest before. I pray for my father to be taken to heaven and will mourn forever. His name is Leonard. Tell your love ones that you love them as much as you can and give them lots of hugs....My prayers go out to all who suffer.Vern     Bantutin Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
