    He was not in pain, so very peaceful, had squeezed my hand and was gone a few minutes later. Thank you all for being here.

    I'm so sorry.

    Vickie, I send heartfelt sympathy to you and all your family. How wonderful for both of you that Stu's transition was peaceful AND you were there to hold his hand. He knew you were there at his side..you never left him. That must give you so much peace just knowing that if there was a speck of fear in his heart, you were there to let him know he would be alright...and he slipped away gently.
    I know how difficult this is for you, the mix of emotions, so so sad he is gone yet grateful that any suffering is over and he is well again.
    Now try to get some rest as the next few days are going to be full and hopefully not to stressful.This fine soul is now heaven's gain....
    Arms Around...Mimi

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Vicki. I echo others who have expressed joy for Stu now that he is finally out of the bondage of AD, as are you. I haven't been on this walk yet, but I know my day will be sooner than I will want and that it will include many difficult transitions. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you now find some peace in your life.
