Chuzzle, this is so hard. I lost my mom to cancer over a 1 yr. period - and there were and are no words to this day to explain what you go through. I was so tired and worn. Nothing like I had ever felt before and a sadness I could not explain.
I know that God is with you/family and Ron and that he continues to be at peace and in no pain.
A big, gentle hug to you and you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
