Mr Silver, Silver and your entire family - my thoughts are with you. May your father's peace bring some to you as well.

It is so nice to hear you talk so fondly of him. Not everyone talks that way about their parents. And to be able to say good bye and I love you is such a blessing that not all of us get.
I am sorry for your loss but am glad he is free from he's failing human body now. My thoughts are with you in your time of grief.

To all the Silvers... just want to add my condolences this morning. I went through this years ago, also, with both parents, but my father first. There isn't a much harder thing to experience. Looking back, I realize there came a time several months down the road where I could look back on him, and remember the way he WAS when he was in his prime -- the navy chief, the strong father (feared by all the boys who came by the house

), and the softy on the inside that he could be. It took so long to rid my mind of the person in the hospital bed that really wasn't him. It sounds to me reading your post that you may already be part way there -- that is my hope for you and your family. That your memories are soon all joyful and make you smile, not sad. My thoughts are with you all.
Jes

Sending all the positive healing energies that I can muster. I am so sorry for your pain and loss. It is obvious that his legacy lives on through you and Silver. The best tribute we can ever give to those we respect and love is to live in a way that would make them proud. You both have done that in your support and generousity to so many. I have felt the power of your gifts and am most grateful. Take the time you need to remember, to feel, to be. We are here for you.

Warm wishes to the Silver family. Glad that you were all able to be at his side. It will take time to heal, but at least you all have each other.

My condolences to you and your family. I believe it was an honor to be at his side when he passed. I think anyone that is crossing over would want that, I know I would. My parents are almost 80 and will have to face that someday. I hope that I can be at their side when their time comes. Thinking of you and your family.

My condolences and prayers to the whole Silver family. This is such a hard time. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry I am coming in here so late...
Add another big hug for the Silver family from the running family.
Once again you have such a great perspective on life- and dying. He really is in a better place.
You are all in my prayers.
Hugs

The Lord's blessings on you, Silvers. As you know, I lost my Dad last year, and getting it all said before he went continues to be a huge blessing with dividends of peace.

Silver Family,
I just read your post. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God grants you peace at this time. My prayers are with you all.

This is what I miss for being off line for just a bit. I'm so sorry to hear your loss. I know the passing has be lingering, and it is probably a blessing (I mean no disrespect). But it is still difficult. You are in my thoughts.

Your family must have been very good to you as they guided you through your early years. It shows in this tribute that you posted for your father and in the sensitivity that you constantly show towards all of us here on this board.

Your Mother, Silver, and silver children are lucky to have you with them as you all go through this difficult time together in life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

That was a lovely post you wrote about you father, Mr. I'm so sorry for your loss. Every day will get a little easier. Ride a lot. It helps.
