John ended his journey here very quietly at 4:30 am on July 7. He had been at home, receiving palliative care, for nearly two weeks. His wife Lisa was at his side. I know that many of you had been praying for John, and I thank you.
John was a strong and bright spirit, and his lovely wife Lisa is so exhausted and sad from this long illness, which began on May 18. There was some hope in the beginning, when John was first diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, but one complication after another occurred, and there was finally no hope for a recovery.
I was in the grocery store this afternoon, and a beautiful butterfly followed me up and down every aisle, swirling around me as I walked. I'm choosing to believe that it was John, just showing off a bit.
Thank you again for all your support.
