Our dear friend Arne Bryan, is on Palliative Care. I have been to see him a few times, but now my heart is too weak to go and see him in this weakened state. His connection to Deborah is that he baptised my daughter at Crescent beach 3 yrs ago. I am sad at the thought of loosing him.
This is what a friend wrote:

> shortly there after the R.N. came and asked me who I was and
proceeded to tell me that Arne has requested to go off all heroics. She
said he was of sound mind and so they were respecting his wishes.
> I told her I understood, and that you must know we do not fear death.
> I looked at Arne and said your tired , Right, he nodded yes.. I
said your are ready to go home be with Kathy. He said yes . I said your
at peace , of coarse you are. He closed his eyes had the biggest grin
you ever saw,, and nodded and nodded and nodded his head. I have never
seen a happier person so ready to go home.
> He is now listed as palliative. No more heroics.
> I asked him what do I say to your friends , he said tell them to come , you know he loves his friends.
Tonight I realized well he will be walking out speedily either here with
no intervention , or in heaven but he will be walking out..
