I am saddened to hear, for the pain and loss you and your family are feeling.
I am relieved to hear, for the end of his suffering and for some reason, I may be wrong, but I have a sense that he didn't want to impose the burden on you, no matter how willingly accepted.
I am heartened to hear, for the transition to a star, such a beautiful state.
My thoughts are with you.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
