Few men are required to face the absolute certainty of approaching death in 
its most forbidding aspect,its almost unbearable, unbelievable suffering and 
no man ever met the inevitable with more courage. he was brave and patient

His home life was everything to him. Enough cannot be said of the fortitude

smooth the way. Every heart goes out to her in loving sympathy in this, her
