Sad news indeed. Dads are supposed to be unbreakable.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Muss has given good advice -Hospice workers are truly angels on earth and can really be helpful to your mom and you. When my wifes dad and my BIL went through this journey they made a big difference for us. Be safe on your trip up here to Ohio.

Muss gave good advice. Hospice is a godsend.
Mom chose to provide all of Dad's care in their home. It was quite an ordeal for her, but proved her love for Dad.
I'm thankful, that I spent time with Dad, and Mom, every remaining day of his life. It was heartbreaking, but gratifying.
When Mom's time came, My family, and I, did the same for her. We tended her, in her home, 24/7 for several months, until it was impossible to do so. We moved her into a local nursing home, and I visited her there, daily until her demise. I had my loving wife, and family's help, and support, in all of those troubles.

I hope this is posted. You know, nothing surprises God. He knows exactly the design of everyone's life. He's knows what you, your mom and your family is going through right now and is able to be there for you in every way. I pray that He fills you with His comfort, reassurance and love at this difficult time. He has your mom's future in Hs hands and will take care of her. We are watching our daughter go through the aftermath of loosing her husband of 26 years recently. He was in a conversation with her using his hands free cell phone when he was killed instantly in an auto accident. God has done so much in her life in the seven month since it is amazing. My prayers are with you in a great way. Remember, God is in the same place when your dad died as He was when His Son died.

My dad took his last breath at 12:50 this afternoon. I left for Cincinnati last Sunday, but had to return home Friday because the lady feeding my cat lost the house key.
I made sure hospice called me so I could call someone to go over and tell my mom the news in person. Didn't want her to be alone and hear it on the phone.
First pic was taken Christmas day 1956, I was born the following August 15th 1957. The last picture I took of him the day before he went to hospice holding his newest great great grand daughter.
I'll be heading back north in a day or two.

Kevin, I am truly sorry for the loss of Marv. He was a good, generous man that made a lot of people happy. I will pray for comfort for your mom.
I'll wager he and Roy are tag teamed in a swap meet right about now.
Any way I can help on this end just holler.

Sorry to hear about your Father's sickness. You are a blessed man, my Father passed away in August 1953, when I was 10 years old. I can tell you that growing up without a Dad is tough. Mom did as best she could, and raised us right, did without so we could have things.
Sometimes when you guys talk about fishing, hunting and other things you did/do with your Dad, it makes me sad.
So, count your blessings, tell him and your Mom that you love them and spend all the time you can with them. Share lots of hugs.
By the way, I am also very blessed.

I truly feel sorry for you as you all had a good relationship.
My Father and I were somewhat estranged and I did not hear of his passing until two months afterwards.
Hold your Mother close!

I'm sorry to hear that.
My dad was never into sports of any kind. When my friends dads was teaching them to play some kind of ball sport, my dad was teaching me how to fish and hunt.
My dad was the best.
My condolences on the sudden loss of your father.

Prayers for you and your family. We expect to lose our parents at some point but it still sucks.
