Shell, Mikey, and Jeff,
Your husband, and Dad, was a very gracious man. He spent the last six weeks of his life in dreadful pain. He is a hero for trying to kill this horrific disease. We are very saddened by his passing. We will always have our memories to keep him in our minds and hearts. This has been a tough one for both me and Chuck to accept. He is free of pain, worries, and frustrations now. He is in Heaven looking down on his family and protecting them. May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon him for eternity.
