Thanks - and it didn't upset me. He passed at home, five days after getting a diagnosis of CMV and realizing that his body couldn't fit off the viral infection. He died three days after stopping meds, dialysis, etc. His last meal was chocolate (which was verboten to him) and his dog was with him

Thanks for your prayers!
