Bobby and family: I'm so very sorry about the great loss of your Dad. It's so hard to watch a strong man that you love deteriorate as you stand by and can do nothing. I went through the same with my father. Thankfully, for him, he is at peace now and feels no pain.I pray that God will help to heal you and to remember all the good times you had together. Debbie
