Even superheroes aren’t invincible.

This weekend we’ve been cherishing our final time with my dad who has beat all odds in his 6-1/2 year battle with brain cancer. My family so appreciates all the thoughts, prayers and support we’ve received from friends like you through the years, and will continue to in the days and months ahead.

I’ll share stories and reflections soon, but for now I’m spending time with my dad and family during his final days. Thank you again for all the love.

    Amy, we are all with you in thoughts and prayers. Please give my love to your mom – and for that matter the whole clan. And, if he can understand, please give your dad a hug from me. Love you all. Lolly

    Amy – I’m thinking of you and sending you and your family so much love. I went through the same thing with my Dad 2 years ago and as tough as the last days were, it was such a gift to be able to be with him every day.

    Amy – while I wish words, thoughts & prayers offered more comfort at a time like this, I am sending mine to you, along with a big hug.
