We are still processing yesterday&#39;s passing away of  Dad but wanted to provide a brief overview since our last post on Easter.   Soon after attending church on Easter, he required more clinical care and transferred to Agrace residential hospice center in Fitchburg.  Words of appreciation for the staff and resources there.  I have rarely met a group of individuals who have embraced and lived into their purpose than those that worked or volunteered at Agrace.   
The support we have received from the community has been a testament to his legacy and will cherish the acts of service, cards, videos. He looked forward to visiting with people, reading the cards, listening to video messages - anything that would keep him connected to his community. 
These past few weeks were more challenging as he lost his appetite, slept more and interacted less.  We all were praying that God would take him peacefully home with that prayer answered last evening.  Family and friends were at his bedside with a peace and serenity palpable after his passing.
During this journey, we are filled with gratitude for the out reach of love and service you have provided these past couple years during his care.  Thank you.
