My father, Rufus James Wagner, passed away today at approximately 12:35 pm. One year and one week after my mother's death. They both passed away at The Lutheran Home. They both entered the Spirit World at the same place, so I'm thinking Mom was right there to greet him! They are together again!

This picture was taken Christmas 2009, one month after he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Can't believe both my parents are gone. My heart aches, even though I know they are together in a better place and that I will be with them again one day.

I wish I was there...
I can't even look at this picture without wanting to cry! I too wish I was there!
He was a great man, and he has a wonderful daughter, whom I love and am glad to have as a dear friend. I'm glad that he's done with the suffering. I'm glad that your mom, such a wonderful lady, gets to be with her husband again, and he with her. I'm so thankful for the examples that both of your parents were, and that was only for a short time, really. So if they have impacted me, I can only imagine the tremendous impact their lives had on those who were blessed to interact with them frequently. I knw that while your heart aches, and your mind struggles with the loss, and telling yourself repeatedly that he is better now, and not in pain any more, you've still lost. I can't say how it feels, but I do know that death comes to each of us eventually. Love you, Gwenda. *hugs*
Dear Gwenda,
So very saddened to hear about your Dad. He will be greatly missed! I know that you will think of your parents every day, and smile about some little thing you remember they said or did. And you will see them again in Heaven! My heart is very heavy for your loss, and my tears are many. I love you Gwenda!
