Linda: I hope that he is peaceful and not in pain. The wonderful thing about Hospice is the fact that they just take some of the emotional and physical weight off of you shoulders. I went through this with my mother and husband. Peace be with you and your family as you go through these hard times that all of us must go through.

My father is now home with me again and we have hospice coming in. I went through this with my mom seven and half years ago. He will be the last that I know of on my Furtado's line since my brother, male cousins did not have sons or did not marry. One brother is left at the age of 77. The female lines are carrying down the Furtado's at this point. My grandson is due Monday though he knew he was going to be a ggrandfather, but unfortunately will not be there since he is making his transition to the other side as I write this email. Life will go and yet another life will come. I am missing him already, but he will be at peace and with my mom since he has had a long poor health history. I wish he was much healthier when I started with this group because he would have been able to help me and others on our ancestory. He didn't really know his background as I would have liked him to, but like we all talked about that they never discussed their heritage. It wasn't something they did or was important I guess.
