Jim's dad passed away this morning. He's been in a nursing home for about a year and struggling with respiratory problems recently. We've spent a lot of time out there with him, but even seeing him every week, this was a surprising. He seemed like he was rallying Thursday when we saw him last. He would have been 87 this December.
Edith, his wife, lives in the nursing home, too. She's got some memory/dementia issues, but is pretty healthy otherwise. Maybe she could share a room with Mom?
Funeral will be sometime next week, more details to follow. Does anyone know how to play a bagpipe - he wanted one at his graveside.
Keep us all in your prayers as you always do :)
Love,
Lel

I do a pretty good "Amazing Grace" on the harmonica. But I guess that won't do, huh?
