Judy's dad passed away last night around midnight. He had been struggling to breathe during the day, but was resting quite comfortably during the evening. The doctors speculate an inflammation of the brain stem caused his respiratory system to shut down. The family is regarding the passing with obvious sadness, but also with relief because the prospects of surgery combined with a long recovery were daunting. He was in so much discomfort and distress that his passing was really a blessing.
Judy is doing well. The events of last night are just sinking in, but right now we are feeling relief that her dad is able to rest in peace.
Judy's dad just turned 83 on July 19. Judy's mom and dad celebrated their 60 Wedding Anniversary on Wednesday, August 8 - the day before his fall.
The tentative plan is for the funeral to be at Christ Church Anglican on Thursday, August 16.
