Dad passed away around 3am today. When Barbie got the call from Ben, she was devastated - she could hardly breathe, much less talk. So I had to talk to Ben and give instructions to him. I then made the call to Tito Frankie to make the necessary arrangements with dad's body - lest some other unscrupulous parties take advantage of the family's moment of sadness - what can I say, there are vultures around... circling and waiting. We just need to be extra vigilant in situations like this.
Tito Frankie (Ninong Frankie actually - as he was one of our sponsors in the wedding) gave us clear instructions a few days ago about this... and though Barbie was receiving all this will a heavy heart, she knew the need for preparations. Today, those preparations bear fruit... and as for dad's final voyage - well, that's done. What remains are the practice to help sooth the ones left behind... and Tito Frankie made sure, things were in order.
We'll miss you dad... but I'm glad you're now at peace.
