Passing

[kerravonsen]

My father has passed away overnight. No surprise, we knew it was coming, his 94-year-old frame could take no more.

Just finished a long Zoom meeting where the family were hashing out the funeral arrangements. To my surprise, the restrictions have lifted enough that we can actually have a funeral (20 people only). We're going to use invite-only Zoom to enable non-immediate family, and friends, to join in. (Yay technology)
The actual date of the funeral is going to depend on when brother #2 can get here, and that will depend on what limited transport is available... we shall see.

I'm feeling a bit mentally exhausted right now. And a little shaky.

My condolences to you and your family. 94 is quite a respectable age to attain, my mother's mother made it to 96 and her son to 92 or 94, there's some confusion as to what year he was born in.

Get lots of rest. Cuddling with cats and dogs is a good thing, too.

Warm, loving Hugs.

I think inviting people by Zoom could work really well. You'll probably need to mute people during the actual service to avoid too much sound feedback, but then all talk afterwards.

Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace; and may those who mourn him be comforted.

My condolences to you and your family.
At least Zoom will allow them to be there in spirit.

Look after yourself.

Very sorry that his time has run out. I hope you are able to arrange a good funeral, even if not everyone can be there to pay their respects and support you in person.

I'm sorry for your loss. No matter how expected a loved one's passing is, it is still a loss. Your exhaustion and shakiness are completely understandable. May your father's memory be for a blessing.
