Very unexpected. He was improving, mass had shrunk significantly and he was on maintenance chemo treatments. When I went to bed, I found him. His passing looked peaceful and I can only hope it was. Thank you all for being a part of our lives for so many years. You've brought us a great deal of happiness. ~Alyx~ |
