Dear friends and family, 

Yesterday was the 4-month anniversary of the day my parents were able to renew their vows in St Maarten (Dec 24th). ❤️

Laying next to my mom and surrounded by family, my dad passed away peacefully last night. It was really hard watching him suffer these last few days (and months!), and we are all so relieved that he is no longer in pain, no longer stressed, and is finally at peace. 

Again, we appreciate your messages, but we may not respond right away. We will update again when we know details about memorial services. There will be a service here in Arizona for my parents’ friends and family here, and then we will have a service in Oregon at a later date. 

Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers.
