The Journey Ends

This is one of the last pictures taken of Rocky; on his 80th birthday March 4, 2010.


He passed away on May 11 of respiratory failure and pneumonia at the  Hospice House in Bristol, TN after almost two months of hospitalizations.

ALERT!


     This is the view from Rocky's Hospice room. He began to decline through the rest of April and on May 5 was hospitalized with pneumonia and respiratory failure. Two days later he was transferred to Wellmont Hospice House.
It is a beautiful peaceful place. His son, Geoff, is here and we are keeping vigil. If you'd like to keep up with Rocky and me and our families, I have set up a website as follows:

I'll be back on here when the skies are blue again.  Mimi
