Dear James, Daniel and Emily
So today Connie is arranging to take Manuel off life support. It is a sad, somber day. I am doing my best to help with the arrangements for the service etc. And thanks to all who have sent their best wishes and support. We have all felt the outpouring of support, especially Connie, and I think she might not have made it through the past week nearly as well without all of the support she has received.
As soon as the arrangements have been made for a service I will let people know. I know it will be quite large. The outpouring of support and quantity of well wishers and visitors at the hospital last week was astounding, the nurses all commented on it.
I haven't yet come up with the best words for my own eulogy here, that may take a couple of days. Last night when we were talking about the people who might speak at the service I admitted that while I would like to speak, I know that I probably wouldn't get through any speech without choking up.
Tomorrow I will return to work, I was fortunate to not miss many actual work days through all of this. And I know my work will be understanding of any time I need to take.
