My Father

Normally I write the blogs on behalf of my father because he didn't want to be botherd with having to send out his email and then having to post the blog, but this blog entry is my own and is an update to my father's last entry. If you are following this blog with expectations to see entries about my father's travels, I apologize.

Last Friday my father became very ill. It was completely unexpected. We are all in shock. To make a long story short, he had a terrible infection in his colon. This quickly turned into septic shock. His organs quickly failed and he is now hooked up to machines for survival. We plan to take him off the machines tomorrow and let him be in peace. My mother is doing as well as can be expected. She is a strong woman, but is angry that life is not always fair. The two of them were a very special couple. I will keep you updated as more information is available.

As a follower of your family's blog for some time, I am in shock from your dreadful news.
My thoughts are with you all.

Yael, I am so saddened and sorry to read this update. We had so hoped that they had just chosen not to cruise this year. My thoughts are with Sherm & Bobbi and your family. We took a couple of long cruises with your parents and they were special and fun-loving. Please let Bobbi know that our thoughts have been with her and Sherm since we realized they were not cruising this year and we will continue to hold them in our thoughts. Best Wishes, Debbie & Clay & Margie
