Thank you every one.
I thought I would share the beautiful story of his death. It shows true love.
My mother was in the living room with him. She was on the couch holding his hand while he was in a coma like state (he had an stoke about 2:30am last night). About 6:38 to 6:41 my mother said " I do not want you to suffer any more. I am ready to let you go. PLease do me one last thing. Stand up straight and march into heaven" and the grunted and died. Those were my mothers exact words.
It is ironic about her saying march into heaven. Because 1) he is in a wheel chair 2) he is a vet.
They last words he said to me (before he had his stroke) was "goodnight my baby girl, I love you"
My family stayed in the living room with him until the Funeral home came to remove him. He did all the paper work around him and I even showed him his urn. We left the room when they were going to take him out. I could not see that.
Chris

I'm really happy that you got those last words from your father. That should strengthen your memory of him in a good way, and make dealing with his passing easier.
