Sue, I am sorry I missed your original posting about your father's death. I just wanted to extend my condolences. My mother Joyce has a Parkinson's Plus disease and my father has heart disease -- to have had both must have been doubly difficult. From the sound of your father's send off, he must have been a wonderful man.
