Thanks everyone for your kind words, PM's and prayers.

It's difficult not to be able to go see him again but he understands and tells me that I've already given him the help he needed.
I went out earlier this spring and finished his jobs, allowing him to go with no unfinished business and I got his affairs in order.

I phone every day and he is with family and friends. His daughter is flying in from her home in France and the other from northern Alberta in the next couple of days.
He will be with his father soon.

I'm sorry to say that Steve has taken a turn for the worst and is not expected to make it through the night.

I won't give you the gory details, we all know that the outlook is grim. He is comfortable and in his house. Verna is of course upset, but the nurse has been by and she was the one to give her the bad news.

I wish I could have been with him, I was going out there in 2 weeks, but it's hard to put life on hold when he is so far away. He has friends and family with him.

Mark,

He understands why you are not there now.

He also knows that you were there for him earlier, and will be there for his family when he is gone.

What more could someone hope for? Having a good family and friends that support are his comfort now, along with knowing his affairs are in order.

Honor him at the funeral and remember, you can miss him, but NO REGRETS for what you didn't do, and be PROUD for what you did. Remember him for what he did and the good times you had.

Ken

He isn't going to hurt anymore, and I bet he'd be the first to tell you that life is all good.

It'll be all of us one day, and we'd just like to have our friends go on with their friends.

After a three-year battle with cancer my friend and brother Steve has died.

He has found peace and his father is guiding him home.

I love you bud.

Sorry to hear the news. At least he is pain-free and at rest now. Try and take some comfort in that.

Here's to your bro' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Mark,
we will add your brother to our prayers tonight.

this is an Irish Funeral Prayer. Written by Henry Scott Holland in 1910, the words have been recited at many Irish funerals, and I've always found them somewhat comforting:

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

I'm not a religious man but my thoughts are with you.
Take care of yourself, your family and friends and appreciate your healthy time on earth while you have it.

Give your wife and kids a hug for me.
