Well Vern went home from the hospital on Tuesday, January 27th. Hospice came out to the house on Wednesday and signed him up for their program. On Friday, January 30th Lexi and I packed a suitcase and went to my mom's house and stayed. Dean and Melanie and their kids were also in town staying at my mom's house. Butch and Ashlee went back and forth in between their work schedules. We knew it would not be long and so we all just did what we could to make Vern as comfortable as possible. In the meantime, Hospice never showed up. We finally called them on Saturday and they sent a nurse out on Sunday. Monday morning he was finally transported by ambulance to the place that he had wanted to be at all week...Solvay Hospice House in Duluth, MN. Vern sadly passed away about 20 minutes after they got him settled into his room. Well, needless to say...Lexi and I stayed at my mom's until February 8th. Vern's Memorial Service and Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, February 7, 2009. He will be forever missed but he is Just A Memory Away...
