Peaceful Passing

My DH passed away peacefully last week. He was on hospice for a week. Two weeks before he died he stopped walking. Talking was hard. Stopped eating a week before death. He did not have pneumonia or a stroke. Breathing was erratic and blood pressure was low. Heart was strong to start with. The Lord carried him home February 10. Wayne was a Christian and a great husband, father and grandfather. There is a void in our family. I am blessed to be his wife.
