Rasjad’s Final Post

It is with sadness that I am telling you that Rasjad passed away on Saturday January 9, 2016 around noon. Susannah and Lionel and close friends were at his side. It was extremely peaceful. During the last couple of weeks, his breathing was getting much weaker. He spent more and more time resting. However, Rasjad managed to complete a couple of blog posts  about his departure. Below is a post he wrote a couple of weeks ago with instructions to post after he passed.

A memorial service is planned for February 6, 2016  and w’ell let you know time and location as soon as we get it arranged.  Donations in his memory can be made toOregon chapter of ALS society, http://www.alsa-or.org

With love Susannah and Lionel Lints

Rasjad’s Last Post 

Do not think that it is a tragedy that I died or that there is something terribly wrong about my situation. I don’t. There is a time and place for each of us and this was mine. I lived my life well and have no regrets. I made a difference in the world – isn’t that what most of us want?

I was extremely fortunate to have met my life partner in high school and enjoy 40 years marriage to my best friend. We were blessed with our extraordinary son. What more could I want?

I believe strongly in Almighty God and am now in a wonderful place that I’m sure defies description. Don’t worry about me, I’m just fine.
