"The very day he died - he said he was "going to beat it" - and he did."

...what a beautiful testimony...thanks for sharing, Gary!

When doctors and their assistants praise Buzz for his progress, he always tells them, "Sure, I'm doing great, I have the best nurse that love can buy"!
This statement always makes tears come to my eyes.
Like your dad, Buzz was 'volunteering' at least 20 hrs/week at our local country club, maintaining all the grounds equipment, running the Pro Shop, then playing 18 holes 3-4 times a week, even up to the day before his surgery in July when he shot a 68!
It is my belief that God don't make 'em like these guys anymore!

Thanks for your response to my post!
