stand by me

This video is dedicated to our dear friend Robear who is not doing well.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
He is a beautiful person whom our kids call "Uncle Robear."
Mark's lifetime friend and "cousin". He was in our wedding party:)
He is currently at the Hospice of the Western Reserve.

That was an amazing video and a awsome tribute to your friend, he is in my thoughts and prayers! I lost my father just a few years ago and he was under the care of Hospice at home - they were are angels and we would have never made it through without them. I hope your friend is at ease and in peace while he remains with us and he is lucky to have you in his life, I am sure you have touched his heart and life more then you'll ever know! God Speed, Pam

Hi Pam,
I love that video too....Grandpa Elliot is my favorite.
I love the whole hospice philosophy.
I have done some hospice in the past and now feel strongly pulled to start working there again.
I trust I will be guided though.
I am sorry to hear about your dad, but glad it was a good experience with hospice.
Thank you for keeping our friend, Robear in your thoughts and prayers.
My husband was with him for a major part of the day today. I pray for his comfort and that his sister can make it through all of this. She has not left his side and sleeps in a chair beside him.
Namaste to you Pam.
