My father-in-law Grey passed away last night. He was 62. He passed surrounded by his family - Jason stroking his forehead, speaking words of encouragement, Jann by his side, along with his 89 year old mother and his loving siblings. We are sad beyond words but relieved that he is no longer suffering. He has struggled so much in the past three months. There will never be another Grey. We will always miss him.
Ugh, my heart sank when I saw the title of the email notification. I am SO sorry to hear this news. However, I feel glad that you all did absolutely everything to spend the best possible time with him before leaving. I'm sure that made a wonderful impact on his spirit & the fact that he was so supported, I'm sure helped him tremendously. My heart goes out to all of you & I'm sending prayers & healing light to help you all navigate thru this passage. Sending many blessings & hugs your way!

Rebecca, I have read your blog and journey over these past months and my heart goes out to you and your husband and family. Your father-in-law sounds like an incredible man and was so fortunate to be surrounded by all your love. I am certain you are all so much better for having him in your lives. I am sorry for your loss...sending my prayers and love to you all.
I have tears in my eyes as I write this. My heart goes out to you and your family during this most difficult time. He was a wonderful man- I can tell that by the love he brought out in the people who knew him best. Take comfort in knowing that his last days were filled with love and support.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
what a beautiful man.. I am so sorry that your father in law passed I know you all had been there with him and he was so blessed to have that. when i pulled up this photo i remembered what katherine hepburn said about john wayne when he passed away.. that here lived a man whose honor and valor stood higher and stronger than a redwood tree and who soul was brighter than all those who would ride this way again. it seems as if this describes what you have said about Grey.
I am so sorry for all your pain. And I am looking forward to getting to know you guys when you get to tulane. I look forward to knowing this amazing person thru you both. Many blessings and my deepest sympathy and love. Callie
Jann Rebecca and Jason

I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. I know that he was beloved and this is devastating to so many.
Just as there is quality of life, I also believe in quality of death -- it is so very obvious that Grey had a great quality of death, surrounded by his dear and devoted family members.
Rebecca,
I was saddened to hear of Grey's passing. I too read the Ferris Farm blog, the dedication of Jann and her children and their families, you too, was phenominal for the support and care of Grey. What a legacy Grey has left. I am sure Jann and family are proud of that. You should all be proud of how natural it came to care for him. I am sure God has a special spot for Grey.
His suffering is now over and he is the presence of God. I am sorry for your entire family, what a great loss. Please take care of Jann, this must be so hard for her.
