It's like our furbabies too...we know they have been with us a long time, and we know they are at peace, but that is sometimes small comfort with all the pain we feel.

Your Papa was a fighter - and had a sense of humour during a couple of times in hospital, I think recall you saying.

Rest peacefully, sir - and let your wife know you are with her.

{{{hugs}}} for you and your family, Kay.
