«i»This has undoubtedly been one of the toughest weeks of my life. Sid decided to come home from the hospital and finish his life at home. I was by his side when he took his last breath. He had been surrounded by his family and some close friends. It has been an exhausting two years and he was just tired as was I. With the loss of his closest friend of 60 years in October he wanted to go too.
I have so many wonderful memories and such a wonderful family, they haven't left my side and have made promises to be there for me in the coming days.
Here is Sid's obituary from the Guest Book web site: (http://www.legacy.com/guestbook/shreveporttimes/guestbook.aspx?n=sidney-nagel-sid&pid=157524755&cid=full)
