My Sad News : I lost my husband yesterday :

The update that I don't want to make.

Ron passed away at 2:45 PM today. He did not suffer and was not in a horrible pain when he passed. I was holding his hand as I have been most of the time since we returned home from the hospital. There was a hospice nurse here with us at the time that was just working on admitting him into home care hospice. I'm so glad there was someone here with us. 

If you are able to donate anything towards his memorial it would be most appreciated. I don't have to funds to pay for the funeral but I will figure something out. ( https://www.gofundme.com/roncrystalbenedict )

AS most of you know I am not employed or able to work due to MS. I have no income. 

I have a paypal account set up at my email address MinDaf@ aol.com or donations or cards may be sent to
