Marching Into Heaven
Dick passed away this morning about 10:30 a.m. Sharon and Bryan were able to be
there with him at the end. The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band was playing the Patton
march on the CD player as Dick marched into heaven. We then played the Spirit
of Aggieland and were able to pray over Dick with the hospice chaplain. We
obviously will miss Dick, but we know he is in a better place and his pain is
finally over. We are sure that his mom and all the other family and friends
that have gone before him are celebrating with him today.
Over the last
12 hours, breathing became very difficult for Dick as his lungs filled with
fluid. He never opened his eyes last night and his motions were extremely
limited. But the hospice nurses did an excellent job of caring for him and
ensuring that he was comfortable. Overnight, Bryan shared with him all of the
messages that you have sent, read to him, and prayed with him.
We
appreciate all of the love and support you have provided throughout this
ordeal. We are in the process of making funeral arrangements and we will keep
you posted.
