In Memoriam

On behalf of the entire Thomas family, I'd like to thank the Britton-Summers Funeral Home and VFW Post 9013 for their outstanding service and support with Wally's funeral. It was truly a beautiful and honorable memorial to my father, and I do appreciate it.

I'd also like to thank New Life Community Church of Belton, MO, for hosting the memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the V.F.W. Memorial Day Parade Fund, 9A Milk Street, Westborough, MA 01581

Wally is going home today.

We are in the process of figuring out all of the particulars for Wally's release from the hospital. He will be traveling home via ambulance since he cant sit up with out much much pain. Hospice will be coming to talk to me today about caring for him at home in his final days.

The doctors have told me to let everyone know if they want to see Wally, now is the time. We have noticed he is getting confused when reading notes, which is his main way of getting information from others. He is still in very good spirits. Yesterday when one of his nurses, Tracy was trying ot get him to eat some more food, she held up his Ensure for him to drink instead of the water he had...he tapped the Ensure with his cup in a toast and started laughing!

A new air mattress will be delivered today. It is supposed to help prevent Wally from getting bed sores. Things are moving fast, but we are doing all we can to keep Wally comfortable and happy in his final days.

I will write more as I have time and as more information becomes available. Keep praying for Wally's comfort.
