At my age I don't plan too far in advance.'
Called back Monday ( our birthday) and found he was put into hospice over the weekend. When I went to see him, they didn't think he was going to be around another 24 to 48 hours. He was so overjoyed to get the model, and showed it to anyone and everyone for the next five days before he passed. When I went to his funeral, front and center on the memorial table was the Connie. I was never so humbled in my entire life.
You will never regret doing something to honor those who have gone before
