To all,

It is with overwhelming sadness that I have to deliver the news that my father, Gary Dean Talbot, passed away at 5:15pm at the age of sixty-five. He went peacefully, his respirations gently subsided as he passed on peacefully. These last few years have been such a struggle for him, every breath was an effort as his lungs deteriorated. His body held on far longer than it should have.

As a minister, he was a deeply spiritual man, and he lived more faithfully than I could ever hope to. I really loved him, and will always miss him. May you rest in peace.

God bless,

Your son - Andrew Talbot

My condolences to you and your family Andrew - as your father was also a spiritual man I am certain that he is now at home up above us all looking down. Celebrate his life and remember his spirit.

There is also a grieving process that those who have lost someone who was very important in their life go through - take the time that you need to let that happen. My father passed away from a brain tumour after surviving lung cancer.

Look after yourself and your family, life does go on, although it may seem as though the loss may be great at the present moment of time.

Best wishes, thoughts, and prayers, Seagull V

Deepest condolences to you and yours, Andrew. Sounds like a life well-lived, and your Dad was surrounded by loved ones at the end. All any of us can really ask for.

When my brother-in-law lost his Dad a few years ago, his response was unexpected, but very helpful, I thought. He said "You know, I'm just so lucky to have had such a great guy in my life for as long as I did."

Indeed, remember the good times,

Andrew/GR

Andrew, my condolances to you and your family. It is hard to have such things happening to you and to be able to "talk" about it to other people is a healing process. Many years ago, when my father passed away, we did not have this abilility to talk and share with everybody in this world. I remember the sorrow I was facing at that time. And I hope that with this we can alleviate some of the sorrow that you feel. God Bless You, Andrew.

Hello,

So far, a couple of big decisions have been made...mom and I made the memorial service arrangements and paid for the cremation, per his request, and they came to their house today and took all of dad's oxygen equipment. Both of those were really rough on us, because they were reminders of Sunday. But at least those are two significant things out of the way.

Andrew,

let me offer you my heartfelt condolences. Everytime I read or hear of someone's father passing away I relive what I went through when mine took off eleven years ago, therefore I know exactly what you must be going through right now. Being strong and there for your mom, having to organize everything to take off her back any kind of pressure in a moment like this, having to take decisions you would have never expected and getting everybody's condolences which ring a constant reminder your dad is not here anymore...

It's passage in life we all come to, sooner or later, and we all have to endure. I still miss him and I will probably miss him for the rest of my life, but he will continue living in my memories as well as your dad will in yours.

In a few years, when your own kids will be capable of understanding, as they are too young now, bring back to life your dad once again by telling his nephews what kind of a man he was and what he did to help you becoming an adult and how much he loved you.

It's only in our loved ones' hearts that we shall live forever.

Stefano

Hello Andrew
It is always sad to hear of a family member passing away. The pain that you and your family are going through at the moment will lessen with time. Try to keep busy and celebrate your fathers life at his funeral/wake and take care of your Mum.

Brother, you have our deepest condolences as well. I am so sorry I have not been on here to read this earlier. We have been so absorbed in my wife's surgery and chemotherapy that I have not stayed in touch with anyone outside of our immediate family. If we were still in the States, you would see us in Massachusetts to personally convey our sadness at the loss and celebration of a life lived in submission to Lord and Savior.

Rami, your father was a minister, and from Heaven I am sure he agrees with me on this verse of Scripture:

1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

My deepest felt sympathy is with you. I have lost both parents now and can speak from experience. Sometimes the stress of grief and of handling the multitude of resultant situations catches up with you. Take it easy.

Andrew,

From a minister to a minister's son, I offer my heartfelt condolences. Also, and it may seem simplistic in this day and age, I really do believe in the 'by and by.' You'll see him again. In the meantime, he is with God, right where God wants him to be...

Iīm very sorry to hear this news. Been there. My father passed away two years ago and we had to remove all his oxigen equipment from my motherīs home. Remember the good times and his lessons. Your father will surely be in Godīs company so look after your mother and youself.

Sorry for the timing but itīs about the fourth time I started to write and had to quit in the middle the other three.

Good afternoon,

My father had his memorial service this morning, so I said my final "official" good-bye, though he will always remain in my thoughts and my heart.

My condolences, Rami. I lost my mother, uncle, and three cousins this year, so I do know what you're going through. It does get better. If I may venture one piece of advice: allow yourself your own thoughts and feelings. Even if no one else knows, be true to yourself. PLEASE stay well.
