The Road from Health to Heaven

For those of you that weren't in Uxbridge, Dad's road from health to Heaven  provided the family with images that won't soon be forgotten.  The technical term was 'transition'.  

At times, the transition was full of emotional conflict moving from happy sharing moments to messy, painful, stressful and hard to understand episodes.  Finally, while the family sang hymns and prayed with Dad the transition was over.  Angels carried Dad onward into eternity free from the suffering and pain he had endured.  These pictures provide elements of the journey.
