I’m so sorry for your loss, **Otto**. My own father passed away more than 20 years ago and I still remember the moment my poor mother had to come home from the hospital and tell her children what had happened. In all of this and the days and weeks to come, take time for yourself and feel no guilt for it. You and your family will be in my thoughts. ---
