A few weeks ago, I posted that my Dad was dying. The posts and email from this NG was not only comforting, but also provided a great sense of sharing. Dad spent the last few days in and out of "it"...mostly out.. He had no pain and that was our main concern. I am making a box for his ashes. Here in New Zealand, we have a sacred tree called "Totara". Looks like Padauk but is VERY rot resistant. I scrounged some from our old house. I think he'd like it...
Again, thank you for the posts and email...they will not be soon forgotten.
Cheers John
