He has come to the end of his journey 4y 7m 11d after the x-ray that discovered his lung tumor and lead us to Simon Cancer Center 4y 5 m 30 d after the biopsy on Oct 25, 2017 He died about 11 p.m. last night.

I went down on 23rd to sign papers for hospice care as they transferred him late Wed 20th to Nursing home and they said all paper work was done and I had to sign nothing I did ask - I was tired no sleep as I slept on a sofa in his room from Sat 16th till Wed 20th and very little rest as he was up demanding to go to bathroom every hour-2 hours trying to get out of bed

There were 3 new enlarged tumor that I seen Sat
that was not there on Wednesday The hospice nurse said what was on the outside was mild to what was on the inside

He is at peace and without pain now and has joined his grandmother, father and mother.

All that's left is to make final arrangements when body gets to funeral home no family viewing, no visitation or services per his wishes,

I will comply since i am paying and funeral director will deal with youngest sister if she throws a fit - I can not she came over Wed night to see pictures did not say much - only if I was going to sell his bicycle and it I was going to pay for her other brothers funeral who has not lived her since 2005 that she had committed to 4-county & a half-way house I called the half sister and she did not even seem to care it will be up to her to tell her sister and brother as I have no phone numbers for them.

I have kept my promise to his mom and dad and all is well... Now just to finish getting this place cleaned up and get the hell out of here before late fall.

What an incredible friend you've been for him! He was blessed by your caring and stewardship.

My friend, you have more than fulfilled your promise to your friends. What an incredible person you are. We have been honored to be a part of his journey on Mayo Connect. And now it is finished and you can rest knowing that you have done your best.

Thank you for your kindness to your friend's son., despite his family and their problems.

I hope that you take some time to rest up and enjoy your life now. It's been wonderful knowing you.

Merry
