All of the family, as much as possible, were there with him, and were able to say goodbye. Which in itself is cause for rejoicing. So often the family doesn't get to say goodbye.
So this is one of those situations where it's hard and yet it's not so hard.
Pawtucket's dad lived a good life, and had lots of loved ones surrounding him in his final moments.
So it is definitely a time of sadness, and yet it's a time to revel in the wonders of life.
There are worse ways to go than to die surrounded by those you love, and those who love you.
I am sorry to hear about your loss, Mike. We send our heartfelt condolonces to you and your family members. If there is anything we can do just contact us.
And so do I offer condolences to you, Pawtucket. Being robbed of fellowship with a loved one is excruciating pain, no matter how peaceful the parting is. The great consolation is that it's only temporary. Someday all tears will be wiped away.
Sorry to hear the news Pawtucket. I just got back from a Carribbean cruise with my family, father, mother and sister. My heart goes out to you and your family this day and everyday. Thanks for all that you do.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how it feels to lose a parent as I have lost both of mine...gut wrenching at first but the peace knowing that they are in God's hands settles in over time. I trust that you are finding that peace.
I'm sure your dad was a proud Irishman. I just came from raising a pint of Guinness in his honor.
Paw, my heart goes out to you during this time of loss, I also lost me mom and dad at a very early age dad was 47 ans mom was 52~~~~~~~~~~~~~~much to young to go. I will pray fervently for you.

Pawtucket's dad knew it was his time to go.
All of the family, as much as possible, were there with him, and were able to say goodbye. Which in itself is cause for rejoicing. So often the family doesn't get to say goodbye.

There are worse ways to go than to die surrounded by those you love, and those who love you.
And now he is at peace, and so is the family.
Praise God.
