I got the expected call around 5:15 EST.  He passed away just a few minutes
before that, peacefully and without pain.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts, purrs and prayers.

Jill, I'm so sorry for your pain.  Knowing it will happen and knowing he is
now free doesn't change the pain you feel.

Huggs and purrs for you, and you mother.

The next few days are just one foot in front of the other.  Its very likely
your mother won't even remember them.  May you and your brothers be kind to
each other and make allowances until things can settle down a bit.

My deepest sympathies for you and your family's loss. I know the pain
you are experiencing.

I lost my father when he was only 59 years old. It was terrible for me.

I will light a candle for him, in the 'sleeping cat' candle holder I
love so much.

I'm sure you have all our condolences and sympathy, Jill.  despite your
natural grief (it's always difficult to lose a parent) I'm sure it is a
relief to have it over, after such a lengthy ordeal.  How is your mother
doing?

Thank you.  She's fine.  It hits her in starts.  The 21-gun salute and the
presentation of the flag to her will probably cause her to break down,
though.

With my mum I think she was numb after the initial shock (my dad
wasn't in good health but his death was sudden) right up until the
hearse with the coffin arrived on the day of the funeral. Ten minutes
before she was telling me I had to be brave when the coffin arrived
but as it arrived she just buckled at the knees, afterwards she said
that just brought it home finally- that this wasn't all some bad
dream.

I remember the day after he died, she suddenly burst into tears
through and all she kept saying was "I want" and we were all hugging
her and saying things like "Yes we know you want dad back so do we"
but when she finally got herself a bit more under control she said
"No! I want Kentucky fried chicken and chips!"
