My father passed away last Saturday after a brief hospitalization. When he was admitted to the hospital last Thursday morning he was unconscious, but a short while later he was in a coma from which he never woke up from.

He was 87 and had led a very full life which took him around the world and back here again. He was a quiet man who didn't need to say much to be respected by many. For him, action meant more than words, and a man of action he was. He was one of those privileged people who could say, "This is what I built", and what he built still stands strong today.

((((Poppy))))

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.  Praying that you can feel comfort as you grieve your father.  It sounds as though you have many positive memories of your father.  Find strength in the legacy that he left you with.

Love,

 

LUCKY

Oh (((((Poppy)))), I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like a wonderful man, I'd love to hear more stories if you don't mind sharing some.

Please know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

~hugs~
My prayers and thought are with you Poppy.
Last week my father lost his woman friend and he is taking it very hard, she was 85.
He is coming to visit here on Wednesday and I am so excited as I have not seen him in a very, very long time.
My heart goes out to you your father sounds like a wonderful inspiration to all those who had the privilege to have known him.
My dad is everything to me and although we have been separated by distance we are close in heart...there is so much more that I want to say to you but I cannot find the words to express how I feel...
Just be good to yourself Poppy...we ALL have you in our hearts and on our minds.
~hugs~
Peace
