I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Again, if you need anything, let me
know. I will be thinking of you all.<br><br>

Matt's dad was taken off the respirator and died at around 8:30 this
morning.<br>
The MRI showed massive stroke damage in both hemispheres of the brain,
but it happened all at once and we believe he felt little pain. There was
no return to conciousness at any time during his wait in ICU. He died
within minutes of being taken off the respirator, with very little
struggle.<br>
The funeral will be some time this week and he will be buried at the
Dallas Ft. Worth VA cemetary with military honors.<br>
This man was as much my father as is my own and I will miss him very
much.<br>
Matthew and his family are doing about as well as can be expected.
I will be monitoring the e-mail as I can, and will pass on any thoughts,
wishes, and prayers to them.<br>
Thank you for all your love and support,<br>
<br>
