Thank you very much for your love and support.....

Today has been a horrible day. I was shopping in Target when I saw the doctor called. I figured it was the call to tell me he was going to the rehab hospital to help Dad get to walk better before he went back to Assisted Living.

When I got the doctor on the phone, he started off "there was an incident this morning" and went on to tell me that Dad was chatting up a nurse (typical) and he stopped talking. The nurse said "Mr. Burel?" and when he did not answer her, she took his pulse and he had none. They could not revive him. The doctor went on to tell me that he was very shocked because his hospital stay "was not for THAT reason". He actually asked the hospital personnel to repeat what they said cause he could not believe it. Dad was not well, but in the last few years, he bounced back from everything and went on with life.

I guess the only difference between "going in your sleep" and what happened to my Dad is he was awake. No heart attack, no pain, no suffering, his heart literally just stopped.

Here is a few pics of my Dad. Again, thank you so much for the kind words and sympathies....it is so comforting to know how many people care.

My heart goes out to you Annie

Wow, what a shock. My husband died instantly in a car accident, that it was a blessing that it was quick and painless, but for those left behind, we were not prepared and I think the shock of it all is the hardest.

Your dad was such a handsome man! And a Navy hero. My grandpa was in the Navy. I have a soft spot for boys the enlist.

My prayers to you in this difficult time. Try to hold on to the precious good memories and the consolation of how he went.

Hugs,
Dawn

Annie, did your father servie in WWII?

I'm so sorry to hear he crossed over. My father was in the Navy during WWII and served in the Pacific. I thank your father for his military service too. If he did serve in WWII, I have a suggestion to make that I think would really make him smile from one side of heaven to the other. There is a D-Day Museum in New Orleans that has been expanded to also include the war in the Pacific. I'm not sure if the Museum is still doing it (you would have to call to find out) but for a long time the families of WWII veterans who had crossed over could buy a brick that would be laid in and around the Museum. I forgot the word limit, but you can put the name of your father on there, the years of his military service, the branch he served in, and the names of his family members, such as "husband of and father of ____." It's a great way to honor veterans of WWII. I am so glad I bot one for my father. I know that some, and hopefully many, visitors will see his name and think of him and his service during such a difficult time for our country.

And if the D-Day Museum in New Orleans no longer sells the bricks, there is also a new Memorial in Washington D.C. for WWII veterans. You want to check with that museum to see if they have a similar program.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

No matter under what circumstances a man passes on... even when his life was well lived, as your father's was, a girl is still losing her Daddy. I lost mine two years ago. He was in his eighties and deserved his peace, but he was my daddy and I still miss him. Please know that youare in my thoughts and prayers.
