Love,
Donna and Darrell
I miss my father deeply. I would like to share a few quotations regarding the end of life that feel appropriate for Dad:
"Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep,
And yet a third of life is passed in sleep." - Lord Byron
"Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death." - Socrates
"How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it." - Cormac McCarthy
"You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face." - Ian Fleming
Thanks to all who visited this site to remember a great man.
Philip II
Phil you truly missed by your family and friends. You are now with Our Lord. Deborah & Peter
My dear Donna, I am so sorry to hear about Phil's passing. You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers. I just happened on to the Chanute site again as I hadn't heard from you & was shocked. Please get in touch with me & if the weather permits, we will be at the rosary. Hugs to you.
