My Uncle Werner passed away this morning after a long and painful series of illnesses. For several weeks he's bounced between the brink of death and a miraculous recovery, but overnight he started to lose the battle for good. Everyone who wanted to was allowed to say their final goodbyes, and then a morphine drip was started so that he could go comfortably. Around 10:45 this morning he took his final breath.
Although it's been coming for a long time, his passing has struck my aunt very hard. Our prayers go out to her and all of our family affected by his loss. Goodbye, Uncle Werner, we'll all miss you.
