Suffering without Complaint

Bob had two rounds of therapy for lymphoma from which he recuperated like a champeon.

From May 26, 2011 when Bob had a massive stroke and was paralyzed on his right side, Bob proved patient and long suffering with the final stage of his life.  He had six months of rehab care and was able to go to church and live at home for a full year and a half.  Pat was able to take him to church and to his appointments pushing a wheelchair (and got very strong in the process).


In February 2013 Bob developed a diabetic ulcer on his foot with such a serious infection he was in the hospital until June.  Thereafter a hospice was set up in his home.  He transitioned with loving family around him on July 23, 2013.  The passing was considered a "Gift" from our Father in Heaven for Pat's 70th birthday to relieve Bob from his long suffering.



The other dedicated person who never complained about long hours of service is Pat.  I'm sure Pat has the eternal thanks from her beloved husband and extra stars in her heavenly crown. XOXO!
