He was a wonderful man and father, my husband has been wonderful through this and very supportive, if it wasn't for him and the rest of my family I don't know how me and my brother would have gotten through this. It has been very hard dealing with his death, and as well as the finances of it, my dad did not have a life insurance policy, so me and my brother, my dads four sisters, and my mom, which my parents have been divorced for about 26 years, but still my mom helped pay for the funeral cost, as my dads four sisters and there husbands did as well. My mom still had love for my dad, we all loved him very much. And now he is resting in peace for the first time in years, Thank you all. Packer66 Littlegirl | | |

After 12 emails regarding the issue from other members, the decision has been made to not allow delving into the personal details of issues not related to oral cancer on these boards, that was never their intended purpose. That is not what they are designed for. The whole process degrades Packers memory. Parties who may wish to discuss these things can do so through the private messaging system on the board or via direct emails between themselves.
