After a 5 year, uphill and losing battle with Alzheimers, my Dad, Richard Juelson, passed away yesterday at 5:00. We knew he was going, and are happy that he went peacefully in his sleep. His brother and one of his sisters managed to come up and see him before he died. I will post his full obit when mom and I get it put together.:-(

very sorry for your loss JD, prayers for your family.
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss.
My condolences JD. We'll keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Condolences, JD.
Condolences. It is always difficult to loose loved ones, with your parents you loose much of your past too.

Sorry about your dad, JD. My dad is still kicking at 85 although he too has Alzheimers- or dementia. We also are pretty close to 5 years in with that also so I probably know what you and your family have been dealing with. Fortunately, my office is about a mile from my folk's house and I am able to help mom with his bath, doctor visits, etc. Again my condolences.
Sorry to hear of this JD.
I lost my Mom a few weeks ago. It seems everyone knew it was coming except me. I'm still in a state of an emotional basket case.
Be well my friend.

Sorry to here about that JD....

Condolences,

My sincere sympathies, JD.
May you find the courage and patience to get thru this difficult time. With Alzheimer's, your father left long ago. Now you are allowed to wrap up all the details that have been on hold for so long.
The survey we worked on today involved a grandson buying a piece of ground from Grandpa. The problem is that Grandpa is 89 and has hit that stage where he can't remember tomorrow what he sort of knew today. There had been some concern over where to locate one side of the tract being severed. Today, Grandpa told grandson to do it however you think best. Last week, Grandpa was insistent that he watch us lay out that line so he could move it if he didn't like it. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
The next few days are the toughest. Keep the good memories and let loose of the bad.
My father (a surveyor AND the reason I'm a surveyor) has been gone 20 years. I bet a day doesn't go by that I don't think about him or get reminded of him somehow.
I know you'll miss him terribly, but take peace in knowing he's in a better place.
My condolences JD. I lost my Dad 5 years ago and my Mom last year. Dealing with aging parents is tough but I'm sure Alzheimer's was a an additional challange. RIP Mr. Juelson.
Sorry for your loss JD. I think I'll go home and see my mom this weekend....
Praying for you. I feel for you too. I lost my dad a little over 5 years ago. He was still young (61). Not a day goes by that I don't think off him. Even more sad is my kids. Just the other day, one of my twins said "Dad, I don't remember Grampa!" I started crying and told him that he wouldn't he was only 3 but also that he loved him very much. My dad was ecstatic when he heard there were twins. He adored them and it is a shame he doesn't get the chance to enjoy them. Keep tough and believe that he is in a much better place!
I'm sorry to hear of your loss..... it sounds like it was not too unexpected
but, that in my opinion makes little difference. A loss is a loss....
The only thing I can offer is some perspective offered to me after finally losing
all my grandparents, my Mother, Brother, and finally my Father.
I made the comment one day to a friend that it felt like my heart was full of holes,
and they came back unexpectedly with "of course it is! The edges around the holes hurt for a long time, but those edges DO heal up, and the hole never does. BUT, those holes are there for a reason. To keep those great and loving memories in, as a place keep those memories safe."
Slowly I started to understand and appreciate those holes in my heart... for sure enough, all I have in them now is those great memories...
Keep your Dads memories safe in your heart... he'll always be with you...
I hope those edges heal up real soon and your able to simply smile at those memories.
Best regards, for better days ahead....
My condolences
I'm very sorry, JD. I hate alzheimer's.
Sorry about your loss JD.
