Prayer Request for My Family

Prayers for our friend TX-Dennis's father-in-law, Angel, that he may have comfort, that his wife and daughter be given the strength they need, and that the family be at peace.
 
Prayer from a fellow Texan that this phase of his journey is as uneventful as possible. I know from my parents journey this can be very hard on the entire family. May you all be surrounded by peace and comfort.
 
Peace be with you all, and may the end come with peace and dignified relief for all. We all get our turn. May Angel pass with a smile. Remembering the good times helps. When the end was certain, I was able to take my father to the fields where he played baseball as a young man, the factory (P&G Ivorydale now St. Bernard Soap Company) where he worked 40+ years, the schools and churches that he attended, parks (Winton Woods, Sharon Woods) that he walked, nightclubs and restaurants that were still around, and places where his friends hung out (where Crosley field was and he met Babe Ruth). They also used to drink in Spring Grove Cemetery and many of the mausoleums and ornate tombstones from his day remain and he laughed at things that happened with his friends that all pre-deceased him. He shared some old and new to me memories at each place. His memory for the 1930's, 40's and 50's was still intact. He was dying, we both knew it, yet we laughed a lot. I got the phone call that I knew was coming a few weeks later. Our conversations were over, but we had said all there was to say.
 
You all have my prayers. I went through the same thing with my father. Based solely on my experience, from what you described, it won't be 6 months. Hospice was wonderful for us. A great help. We all get a turn at it. He will be at peace in a much better place soon. I was both sad and relieved when my father passed. It was his time and his quality of life wasn't good. We had home hospice but at the last minute we had him transferred to the hospice unit at the hospital. I think it was the right thing to do for my mother and he was past knowing where he was.
I pray the Lord gives you and your family faith, wisdom and strength.
