I am briefly checking in to let you know that after 2 weeks in the hospital, my father in law unexpectedly passed away in the wee hours Saturday morning, April 18, 2009. My husband was with him and he slipped quietly from his son's arms to The Son's arms. He was in no pain and the two of them, Bepa and Tony, talked and laughed only minutes and hours before. He was to begin dialysis, but his blood sugar kept crashing and his body just shut down. He was one of the most honorable, most gentle, most selfless and most loving men I've ever known. He will be sorely missed by his wife, his son, his daughter in law, his grandkids, and all that knew him. He was kind, helpful and a friend to all - be they rich and powerful or poor and lowly. He was a good Christian example to all those around him and enriched our lives so. Until we meet again, Bepa. We love you.
