A loving father of two great kids, a really good husband, a decorated marine, and a saint of the Lord passed this morning. You don't know him - but he was a great member of our Church. He has been battling cancer for the past 3 years, and was thought to be "in the clear" until about two months ago, when the cancer came back in his esophagus, and he quickly became too weak even for chemo.
My daughter was his hospice nurse, and he has been "family" in so many ways. Meeting shortly with his wife, Becky, for final funeral arrangements, but I sat with Billy a couple weeks ago, and he spelled out exactly how he wanted his funeral to go. And he was very quick and resolute in letting me know he knew "where he was going" and was fully prepared to meet his reward.
Semper Fi.
