 My father, Phillip Louis Bostur, 63 years old
 passed away this morning Sat Nov 23 @ 11:10am
 
 His wife and two daughters, we all three were there
 in the room with him, by his side
 
 We didn't notice his last breath
 as it was a very peaceful transition
 from this world into the next
 
 He had been battling a recurrence of cancer, after being cancer-free
 for the past three years, and even a clean bill of health this May.
 Since Oct 8, these past six weeks, we had unexpectedly been
 in three different hospitals and finally a hospice, Christopher House,
 who have been very kind these past few days.
 
 He had a few rough weeks and many restless nights
 but his journey in this world ended before he had to bear
 too much suffering
 
 Thank you all for your kind words, generous prayers,
 warm thoughts, and positive energy directed our way
 during this time, as it has been truly & deeply appreciated.
 
 He is loved
 and he will be missed
 and remembered

 p.s. do not feel obligated, but in lieu of flowers,
 we would request donations be made in Phil's name
 to www.sunshinekids.com, an organization devoted
 to helping children & teens affected by cancer.
 
 
 thank you again
 you are all dear to my heart
 
 
 p.s. if death scares you, as it does me
 again, do not feel obligated to watch me be sad at this time
 you can take me out for a drink and a laugh in the new year
 when i am ready to embrace the world again
 
 until then, take care of yourselves, treasure every moment,
 and tell everyone you love, that you love them.
