Dear Friends,
Sadly I have to report that Dad's health has taken a turn for the worse. He has been hospitalized for the past 2 weeks with advanced symptoms of heart failure. He has reached the point where he feels it is impossible to keep up the struggle to breathe, and is now in a severely weakened state physically. He has opted to receive palliative treatment and as from today he will receive oxygen and be kept calm and comfortable. We do not know what time frame he has but it is now certain that there will be no birthday party.
Dad has felt the loving energy and support from all of you in the overwhelming response to his birthday invitation. He would assure each and every one of us that his long and adventurous life has been all the more fulfilling for the friendship, love and support from his great family and friends - just as he was always there for us. His legacy is an amazing strength of spirit which is evident even now.
Best regards from Betty and all the family,
Karen
