John passed away on Thursday
He slept away, no pain or suffering. Our daughters are here with their love and support. John's brother and sister-in-law drove from out west and our nephew and his wife are coming from the coast. Our friends, relatives and neighbors are being so kind. They have been through John's illness. We'll have a celebration of his life Monday. We are looking at all of our pictures, laughing, crying, remembering. We had John for almost 47 years. No amount of time is enough.

My sincere condolence to you and your family.
Remember to try to eat, at least a little, to stay hydrated, and to sleep when you can. It's so easy to lose track of our selves when we're grieving.
You're right. No amount of time is enough to be with those we love.
May he cross gently.
I've been following your posts for a while now.
I found a bereavement support group on DU. I thought I'd stay away from cancer support for awhile, just because it didn't go the way we wanted. But to share a little good news, John's cousin's husband finished his chemo and the dr. says the cancer is gone from his lungs. We are all happy for him 
Thanks for posting. Hope you are doing well.
Hope you and your wife are doing well
It's good that you have family, friends and neighbors to be with you.
