Thank you for sharing this video. As a retired nurse my last years were spent with Hospice patients, rehab, and long term care. I loved my job. Over the years I was with hundreds of people when they died. I don't talk about it much because people always say, "how sad, I could never do that. It takes a special person to do that." It takes a special person to do any job well. I couldn't work in a store with the public. You know you gave him the best life you could in his final months. He was so happy and loved and he knew it. He also had a gracefilled, loving, and dignified departure. I have been with many Christians as they passed over, and fear was not in their departure.

Just revisiting again to see “Pops”; the LORD Jesus personally came to receive this dear man, I am sure of it! A very dear friend of mine that passed away at 94 had the most amazing smile on his face when he went, I was certain it was for Jesus! Another friend declared that she would attempt to let her loved ones know when the LORD had come, she was able to signal to them and faintly tell them “he has come for me”; no one but a believer will ever know the joy until it is their time or they join the gathering of saints in the clouds according to 2 Thessalonians!

Your father left a great legacy. I lost my husband in November. He was also a pastor for many years. It is so comforting to know he is at rest with his Savior after a lengthy illness. At times like this it becomes even more apparent that the things of this world are fleeting...what matters most is the eternal. Nice tribute to your dad.

When we lose someone, even when we know the person was saved, we still experience the feelings of loss and separation. My mom passed in 2014 at 68 years of age. I miss her daily but wouldn't wish her back. She's cancer free! She's healed! She is with the Lord! Before she passed a pastor friend in our Bible study at work said, "Your mom's not going to have this forever, she's going to be healed." I didn't grasp the full meaning of this until after she was gone. My sympathies on your loss.

They both had precious, tender hearts and vibrant smiles! Heaven is going to be absolutely incredible! If not before, I will meet all of you there.

My heart just broke this morning when your video posted. Pop was so sweet. I lost two great-uncle in this last two weeks.

They were WWII veterans, and the last two I had left out of 9 amazing men I had in my family who served our country during that time. Pop will be so missed!
