Dear Family and Friends,
At approximately 4:00 today Larry was given only a few short hours to remain on this earth. Obviously Hospice came at the right time. Family is gathering at the apartment tonight for prayer and vigil as Larry "graduates" from this life to the next ~ whenever that officially takes place.
Melody and I along with Larry's granddaughter Kaity, are headed to Portland right now as soon as we get Melody stabilized for the trip. Should we not arrive in time, we will rest in knowing that Melody was able to say goodbye via phone about an hour ago. Sherry held the phone to Larry's ear, Melody said her goodbye's. Larry opened his eyes at hearing her voice. It was the first time all day Larry showed any response and opened his eyes. Thus is the love between a daughter and her father. Kaity was also able to say goodbye to her grandpa. Larry responded then as well. Greg, Larry's son will be in Oregon on Thursday from Tennessee.
Thanks for your prayers for the family tonight and the impact you have all had in Larry's life on earth. Maybe he will hang on for a little while longer - but we would sure like him to stop suffering.
Love,
Steve and Melody - for the family.
