Thank you all so much for your love and support during the past few years of this cancer nightmare. Dad died peacefully and not unexpectedly. I had known he was in early active dying since April when he came along on my Scotland tour, but he was hopeful and game for an attempt at cure, as the doctors until May 31 said they did believe they could resect the entire tumor. After viewing a mid-May MRI on May 29, the neurosurgeon decided it was too far along for him to comfortable remove so much of the brain. Again -- not a surprise to me, who spent a lot of time with him and who knew my dad very well. 

He's been cremated and we are having a simple 4-hour visitation at Highlands Funeral Home Saturday June 15 from 2-6. We may all go somewhere after to relax after (a few venues have been thrown out there), but Dad did not want a typical service. I suspect we will do another big street party in September to celebrate both of my parents, who were more popular in this town than my 'celebrity' could ever reach. 

I am doing ok. I'm sure I'll lose it at some point, but I'm looking forward to traveling and getting to know my children, who have not seen the best of me since Mom's diagnosis.
