About noon Indiana time, Paulette's Dad passed away. He had complained that his back was itching, so Paulette and her mother turned him and put some lotion on him and he said, "I hope I'm dying". Paulette's mother said, "now just remember the promises of the Scriptures we have talked about concerning the believers". He said, "Yes, I've been thinking a lot about that". They turned him back over and he looked up at the ceiling and smiled and said "OK", then drew his last breath. He was a bitter sweet moment for them. I'm so glad that Paulette was there with he and her mother during that, but they both certainly need all of our prayers on this end for God to give them strength to get through this. I'm not certain about going out for the funeral at this time. I will wait until after the surgery tomorrow and see how I get along. I just feel like I need to be with Paulette to support her and her Mom. Just really torn as to what to do. I have to say that I'm glad the suffering is over for him and I just know in my heart he is really happy to be in the presence of the Lord. My heart is heavy today as I remember all of the wonderful times we had over these past 38 years. Thank you all for your prayers.
