    Sorry to hear that Tony. I have just a few comforting thoughts from the scriptures that I find helpfull.
    2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (look to God and Jesus for comfort)
    Ecclisiastes 9:5 (Your FIL is suffering no more)
    John 5:28-29 (God's promise of a resurrection)
    Revelation 21:3-4 (Death and pain will be no more)

    Tony,
    I've seen it many times over, and it's never easy. But if your FIL was a man of faith, then you know you can rest easy in the thought that his suffering has ended and he is in the PARADISE we all hope to make it to. It won't be a difficult 4 days, it will be a difficult many years coping with the loss, and the void left behind. I'm glad to hear that your wife's family was able to HONOR his wishes and allow him to pass in a respectable manner as that is not always the case. You didn't "watch someone die," watches the cycle of life on earth end, and hopefully in HEAVEN begin. A prayer for you and your family in this difficult time. Celebrate the life he had, rather than mourn his passing!!!

    I absolutely will be praying for your family. The choices they had to make are never easy but they have the assurance of knowing they honored his wishes. May the peace of God that passes all understanding rest in the midst of your family in the coming days.

    Blessings......Pastorjim
