Ken, m'dear... Through his loving son's words, like so many others of our list-family, I've felt your dad's been as much a part of our online family as any of the rest of us . Those words of yours have made Mac an intergal part of our group and his presence here will be missed. In that way, your loss is our loss.... Those of our List-family members who're caregivers or family members are part of the "tapestry" we've woven here. The overall strength of the fabric is stronger when the individual "threads" continue to be a part of the whole fabric. YOU'VE been such a warm, colorful, and precious part us, and you strengthen the warp and woof of our "tapestry." I'm glad you'll continue to be a part of it AND us by being here. Love to you and your mom....

Today around 2 P.M. my father Max Becker AKA Mac, went to be with G-d. He had 81 years, most of them good until recently. My mother was holding his hand. If not for his travails with Parkinsons, I would never have known about this list. Until now I never mentioned his name on the list, I guess it was to keep his suffering private, I really never thought of it until now. I have no intention of leaving the list, you are my friends, and my extended family. I want to keep others from any unnecessary discomfort, I want to be around when the cure is found. I want to help bring it about, in any way I can. I know dad would want that. [log in to unmask] --part0_895270183_boundary-- --part0_895296783_boundary--
