The loss of a father

On August 13, 2007 my father had a cardiac arrest while eating supper at his favorite restaurant. He was brought to the hospital and put on life support, enough time for the family, including me, to fly in. But there was nothing that could be done and he died on August 15, peacefully and surrounded by family.
We mourn his loss, but take comfort in the fact that he did not suffer and was with his best friend for his last moments. He led a full life. We had a beautiful outdoor service for him in Westmount Park attended by many..
I am now back in Montreal and back to work. Stories and pictures of my last couple of months in Kentucky will follow.
