Sorry to hear about your loss, MMTU.

God bless you, your family, and your dad. May he rest comfortably with the Lord.

[Zack Nguyen]

God bless you and your family. Your Father sounds like a wonderful, great Christian man.

Without your Dad and others like him, we would be singing "Deutchland Uber Alles" or picking rice in a slave labor camp for the glory of the rising sun.

I honor him and his generation.

Thoughts and prayers sent to your family.

sorry about your loss.......

I myself, have two parents that were WW2 vets....

my dad was on the Essex, the Battaan, the Munda Bay among others.....

my mom was stateside as a nurse.....in Washington Dc and at a TB hospital unit as well....

my mom is in Hospice as well....given only 2 to 3 months to live as of the end of January.....I don't know what keeps her going....isnt' eating or drinking much....no pills.....she uses pain patches....

truth is, she will be gone very soon and I can honestly say that I have dreaded the day that I would lose my mom since I was a child....and now all these years later, do you think my age would make a differance?....No way......

and when my dad dies, I will consider myself an orphan.....

Father Lord we pray for Your peace and comfort for this grieving family, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Come Holy Spirit, Come!

Dad wrote a book on the Holy Spirit. Freepmail me if you'd like to know more information about the book. I'd rather not publish it in the public forum -- it would look to commercial. And, thanks.

I know exactly how you are feeling right now. Dad was just like that. She probably has a shorter term than 2-3 months (no offense intended). Help her make sure she has everything in order as she wishes and hospice should do well on keeping her as comfortable as possible. My condolences to you on your difficult time.

As we journey though life, each new experience helps us to better understand what others are suffering (if we have the proper attitude of unselfishness) and can help them through their difficulties. Each day that passes I see that the ONLY thing that matters is making it to Heaven. Politics doesn't matter, worldy goods don't matter, the petty things people (influenced by Satan) do don't matter, etc., etc. -- Getting to Heaven is ALL that matters.
