Middle Adult Years 45 to 60

Loss of loved ones

When and where did your parents die?

My father passed away while in the Roosevelt hospital after a series of several strokes in a 3 month period between Oct of 1977 and Jan 1978. He was 68 years old.

Mother then lived for 23 more years and peacefully passed away sitting on her couch at home in 2001. She was 83 years old.

What spiritual lessons have you learned from your service to others?
These lessons have all been so tightly tied to church service that all of the lessons on faith and service to God can be grouped into this answer. I have had many special spiritual experiences as I have hiked through the mountains or been on other camps in the beautiful and great outdoors.
