I received an email from Joy (Pharmgirl) early this morning telling me that her dad had lost his battle. Her first sentence tells it all:
"It is with great sadness and relief that I'm writing to let you know that Daddy passed away at 1:20 this morning. He fought a good fight for over the last year and a half and now he is finally at rest and free of the pain. Mom and I were at his side."
Joy and I have been in email contact since November of 2007. Her dad fought a tough battle and she and her mom were wonderful caregivers. She wanted me to let you all know how much she appreciates everyone's thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement during his illness.
Shew will be posting soon, but will be very busy during the next few days.
Her dad's obituary will be in the Richmond Times Dispatch. His last name was Proffitt. It will probably be in the paper by Saturday or Sunday.
