Yesterday, my father-in-law died in intensive care in Antrim Hospital, in Northern Ireland, due to complications following surgery a few weeks earlier; he had just celebrated his 83rd birthday. John was a lovely man, and I just wanted to pay my very small tribute to him here. The photo above was taken at the time of my wedding to Philip in November 2005, and this is how I want to remember him - happy and in good health.
My condolences to you and Philip, Jane. That's a nice way to remember him.

Hello Jane/Philip - I pray for strength and wisdom for the entire family, to get through this testing period and that his memories lives on in your heart.

May the road rise to meet him
May the wind be always at his back
May the sun shine warm upon his face,
The rains fall soft upon his fields
And until we meet again
May God hold him in the hollow of His hand.
My condolences to you, your husband and family.
