I hope when my own time comes I have his courage.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Some tough breaks in his life. May he find peace, wherever he is now.

I think they put a purple bracelet on you, in the emergency room anyway, for
"do not resuscitate" . Everyone should have an advance directive when going into the hospital...I think hospitals require it. I personally don't believe in "life support" or "feeding tubes". My daughters are aware of my wishes and anyone should make relatives aware of their wishes.
