after many disucssions with doctors and finally a long time friend and catholic priest, we made the decision to remove life support. he passed on 04/19/2007 @ 14:03 at the age of 60

Sorry to hear that man.

That's really a big shame AC. My very warmest sympathies are with you.

*pats AceCombat on the back*
I have that same feeling too when I lost my Grandma in Lebanon and my 2 Grampas(one in the US, one in Lebanon) as well as my old dog(which is a gold retriever).
TT_TT

Sorry to hear, Ace.

Ace, I am sorry for your and your family's loss. I have not lost a parent yet, but when that day comes I will not take it very well I'm afraid. I can only imagine the hard time you are going through.

My condolences.

Semper Fi!

My condolences to you and your family. Hang in there, man.

Ouch! My condolences also!

Condolences Ace. As a ex-marine myself, I have it on very good authority that that St. Peter has a special place for those who servered in the USMC:

A Soldier, a Sailor, an Airman, and a Marine got into an argument about which service was \"the best\". The arguing became so heated the four servicemen failed to see an oncoming truck. They were run over by the truck and killed instantly. Soon the four servicemen found themselves at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. There, they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate source of truth and honesty. So, the four servicemen asked him, \"Saint Peter, which branch of the United States Armed Forces is the best?\" Saint Peter replied, \"I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on Earth and welcome to Heaven.\" Some time later the four servicemen see Saint Peter and remind him of the question they had asked when first entering Heaven. The four servicemen asked Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove lands on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak is a note glistening with gold dust. Saint Peter says to the four Servicemen, \"Your answer from the Boss. Let's see what He says.\" Saint Peter opens the note, trumpets blare, gold dust drifts into the air, harps play crescendos, and Saint Peter begins to read the note aloud to the four Servicemen:

MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE

TO: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines

SUBJ: WHICH MILITARY SERVICE IS BEST

Gentlemen, all branches of the United States Armed Forces are honorable and noble. Each serves America well and with distinction. Being a serviceman in the United States Military represents a special calling warranting special respect, tribute and dedication. Be proud of that.

Sincerely,

GOD, USMC(Ret.)

Sorry to hear about that, you have my condolences
