Dad, I love you and I miss you so much. We were all in so much denial when you were sick. How could we have been so blind as to not see that you were dying. I have so many regrets. So many things we did wrong. I am glad that you were at home with all the people that loved you so much looking after you, but I regret deeply the neglect that you recieved when we put you in the hospital for that week. If we knew what we know now that would never have happened. I have so much anger anger towards the people that were supposed to be "caring for you" You were a great, proud, caring man, if only the nurses could have seen you as such, instead of an old man dying. Their excuse was that they were so short staffed and busy. They are all a bunch of lazy b..ch's there were only 20 patients tops on that floor and most of the time the fat lazy slobs were at the desk eating and gossiping. I can't believe the difference in treatment at a place where nurses are really busy, looking after 5 times as many patients, they still manage to do their job and be pleasant and caring even tho they are overworked. I am sorry for the days that you spent there. I am glad that we demanded to be with you 24/7 when we found out how little they cared. Dad your passing has left such a void in all of our lifes. I miss you so much and I think of you every day. You lived your life as an example to all people, you left a lasting impression on every one you met. Even people that had only met you once were at your funeral. I try to pattern myself after you to cope with lifes challenges and want you to know that the way you lived your life and your love and your patient ways with all your children (7) and every one that you met, has left a lasting memory. I didn't think I would be able to go on after your death, But I draw strength from the unconditional love you gave me and I can still hear you say "You have to get on as best you can" I love you and miss you so much. We are looking after Mom. Love Kathy

Miss you so much Love you and think of you every day Your daughter Kathy
