My brother-in-law has been very sick and has put up a valiant fight with cancer for 3-4 years. At the end of last year, he was again told there was nothing else to do as he had tried every thing he could including new experimental cancer fighting drugs. The end of January, the first of February he made the decision to call hospice. They came to his home. They changed hospice groups and he was able to be mobile again in a wheelchair and with a lift. April 8th he made the decision to go to Community Hospice House and went in April 12th. April 15th he gained his ANGEL wings and went to heaven. It is with a very heavy heart I make this post but you needed an explanation of my being away and my non-posts here. Ronnie would not tell his brother and I goodbye. He said, “I will be waiting for you up there by the fishing hole!” Catch those fish, Bubba, catch those fish, especially those catfish! We will see you again one day in heaven.
