My family was here until the weekend and helped me tremendously. Now, on with the horrendous paper trail that I am involved in...such a maze. So many things I don't know about...so many things to do... Mon, 26 Feb 2007 22:37:00 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/7113/journal/45253 Sadly, Bill passed away Friday morning at 10:30.

My husband started going into kidney failure last weekend, which we didn't know until Monday when he was admitted to the hospital. He came home today, but is extremely weak and tired.
