My friend Fred died yesterday after a short battle with advance kidney cancer. He passed during the night with his wife of over 50 years at his side.
Fred showed his love for his wife with some of the last words he spoke. He had been asked do you know who I am?, by his wife because he was not recognizing his daughter. He said sure. You are the one that dragged me away. When asked what he meant. He answered that she was the one he married over 50 years ago. They were so happy together. They were not afraid of PDAs. They had a physical and emotional love for each other and were not afraid to show it!
I will miss him. He was a good man. Loved his wife, his family and his God.
His family needs many prayers right now.
Celeste so sad to hear about your friend Fred ~ my prayers go out to his family ~ Ally

Though it is hard to see a loved one go so fast, atleast they didn't have to watch him suffer through a long battle and he died with the one he loved right there next to his side. Prayers to his family.
