Fred died this morning. He was diagnosed with lung cancer last winter. He opted to not treat. He wanted to live his life to the fullest without being sick from chemo. I saw him while I was in MN and he looked good, but got tired easy.
Right after I left he took a downturn. He went on hospice this week. And then this morning he went to join his wife Doris, parents, my grandparents, my parents (and hopefully Mom apologized for their argument) and Dave. There will be a lot of gabbing up in heaven today.
It seems like every trip to MN is different as family members leave us. But Fred has always been a staple. So it will be weird to go to parties back there and not have my cohort to talk to and sit with. As we get older we realize how much our family loves us. And I certainly felt that this trip. Fred even told me so. I'm so glad I added to the roadtrip and took the time to go to MN.
Fred was 78 years-old. He left behind Brenda and Dave, Tammy and Curt, and Melinda and Pete. He has four grandchildren and two greats. He was very blessed with his family.
Light and love Fred on the journey. Give all my loves a hug as I miss them. And I will miss you.
Rip Fred
