Sent by Mary Margaret whose son is a close friend of Mia and personally received this note:

Hi all - wanted to share some news with you. Mia lost her Dad earlier this evening.  As many of you know he had Lewy-Body Dementia and was in frail health, but overall pretty stable in assisted living. 

Yesterday AM he went into the ER after a few days of decreasing appetite, increasing weakness, abdominal pains and vomiting. They found out he had pneumonia, a mild bowel obstruction and a hernia. 

He was admitted and was improving on antibiotics and feeling better, but this evening he took a turn and it appears his body had done all of the earthly work it could do. 

Mia said he had a great day, and generally seemed more relaxed and peaceful than recent days. This was not a total surprise, but unexpected today. It was not his wishes to have a funeral, so it's not likely there will be any type of public service. 

Mia asked me to let you all know 🖤
