Well, it is over. Randy died tonight at about 10:30. He was in no pain, no anxiety, just peaceful. Thank you for all your wonderful posts and encouraging words. Your prayers have sustained me and my children through a very difficult week. Now we move on to the next stage. The children are divided on the issue of cremation. I think it will all work out in the next couple of days. Yesterday, only my oldest daughter supported this, today it is about 1/2 the kids, by tomorrow who knows. patience is going to be the key to this, and diplomacy.
