My stepdad kicked it Sunday morning at 10:16 - was pronounced by hospice at 11:49.
We had about the most horrible experience with the Roswell Funeral Home ('Dignity' home, owned by SCI). Called a friend of mine at Tom M Wages and she hooked it up for us! It was almost half as much money and a completely pleasant, pain free experience.
They not only had no issues with me bringing my car, but we geeked out over some of their old cars and the history of mine. Great folks, I highly recommend.
The details are:
The viewing is tomorrow from 6-8 and the funeral is Wednesday at noon at the Tom M Wages home in Lawrenceville, followed by a graveside service at Greenlawn in Roswell at 3. We aren't doing an escort, so it's going to be me in my car plus whomever wants to be in a mini procession with me. If you can't make it, I understand - if you can, that'd be cool too. This has been a pretty crazy few days and I am exhausted. Mom called me Friday and I busted ass home to spend the few minutes with him and he teetered on the edge for about 2 days until he finally just gave up the ghost. Never sat and watched someone die before - kind of surreal.
Horrible start to my vacation that's for sure. I wanted to ride my mountain bike and play golf all week but it has been sitting around watching him fade.
