He got up out of bed and ate some breakfast, walked out on the porch, came back and sat down in a chair and died before they could get him in bed.
Wile we feel sad to part with a loving father,
we know he has only gone on to meet his loved ones and to await our coming. We should not sorrow as those have no hope.
A Friend.
