I don't wonder you're angry. I'd be furious. Thank God none of my relatives live in Canada.
Your intentions will be prayed for.
Will pray.
Andrew and Arthur,
I'm sorry that someone so precious was stolen from you. You're in my prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen
I will remember your intentions during my Rosary tonight.
God Bless
My sincere condolences on the loss of your grandfather. No doubt his great joy was his wonderful family.
I am happy to comply with your request for prayers.
My brothers in Christ,
Be assured of my prayers. And may God have mercy upon the people who caused the death of your grandfather.
I will be happy to pray for your intentions. I am so sorry to hear of this, how many others will have to go through this also.
Andrew and Arthur
My maternal grandpa died a week ago too. I will include yours in my prayers when I pray for mine. If you could include my grandpa, Thomas Prentis McNicol I would greatly appreciate it. He was not a Catholic, was an alcoholic and had many problems. Please pray for his soul.
Thankyou
Bec
You have my prayers and I am so sorry for what has occurred.
My condolences... I will pray for your intentions as well. May he rest in peace!
Condolences and prayers from Korea.
May God comfort your family in this difficult moment.
Sincerely,
Joshua
I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa, he is in my prayers as well as your family.

With the spirits of the righteous give rest, O Saviour, to the soul of Thy departed servant, Paul, and keep him in the blessed life with Thee, O Lover of man. In the place of Thy rest, O Lord, where all Thy Saints repose, give rest also to the soul of Thy servant for Thou alone art the Lover of men.
Did you say 'euthanized'? And you mention it so casually? Surely you are exagerating, aren't you? Please clarify. Your blog is great fun, but as a resident of Canada I must know whether you are serious about that.

My condolences. I will pray for the repose of the soul of your grandfather and for those "doctors."
NS,
Although I'm sure you didn't purposely mean to offend us, my brother and I are actually offended by your statement. Afterall, why would we exaggerate my grandfather's death? What do we have to gain from it? And especially in the Chinese culture, we NEVER joke around with death. Death is so serious, we participate in a traditional 30 day mourning. That means we don't go to other people's homes, wear dark colors (no bright colors), do little shopping and "fun" activities, etc.
In regards to your question, "yes" my grandfather was euthanized through the dehydration/starvation method. The Canadian doctors euthanized my grandfather on 7/5/05 and he died 7/16/05. He died a HORRIBLE death... his lips were cracked, limbs were purple, intestines were badly deteriorated.
In our previous posts, we mentioned our grandfather's situation with the Canadian hospital:

Also, the only reason why I mentioned it "casually" was because it was a prayer request. Arthur and I are planning to write a week long segment on our grandfather this week. However, due to time constraints, we were unable to post more stuff yesterday and today.
NS,
I'm sure you meant well with your comments but I thought what you said was pretty insensitive.
Why would my brother "overexaggeate" my grandfather's death? The fact is
at the request of my relatives (NOTE: not us), my grandfather's feeding tube was removed and he slowly died from starvation... Exactly like Terri Schiavo. There's more to my grandfather's story that I would like to share with you all and I will do so in the coming days.
In the mean time we ask that you please be respectful on posting your comments. Both Andrew and I are deeply hurt with the news of my grandfather's passing and I would really appreciate all the prayers... Thank you...
btw in case you need quotes... Before Pope John Paul II passed away he stated in his March 20th speech...
"that feeding and hydrating such patients is "morally obligatory," and that withdrawing feeding tubes constitutes "euthanasia by omission.""
My prayers are with you and your family on the occasion of your Gong-gong's passing.
May Mary Immaculate lead his soul to paradise and to the bosom of her Son.
my prayers are with you and your family. I will pray a rosary for your grandfather.
Be assured of my prayers.
My condolences, and my assurance that I will pray your intentions.
As the sufferings of the martyrs became their crowns in Heaven, so may your grandfather be granted more than enough of the grace of God and the joys of Heaven to recompense his cruel ordeal.
My prayers for his soul, and for those who are left bereft.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
I did not say anyone exaggerated. I was only asking a question. Isn't that allowed? Note the question mark and request for clarification. Since I don't know you, I have no right to assume anything.
It has been a long time that I've heard about
someone in this part of the world being euthanized, so I needed to know more. Rather than immediately taking offense it would have been a good idea to just explain the facts.
Your grandpa was evidently a holy and great man. His tragic death does bring to mind the Terri Schiavo ordeal. I'm sorry for adding to your suffering. I guess this shows that blogging is not conducive to real communication.
Andrew & Arthur,
I am really sorry to hear about your grandfather. A prayer will be said for him and for you.
(I don't think this went through the first time.)
God bless, Maureen Martin
praying for the soul of your grandfather.
My deepest condolances. I'll remember your grandfather in my prayers.
May his soul, by the mercy of God, rest in peace.
My deepest prayers and condolences on the passing of your Grandfather. May Jesus and Mary greet him in heaven and may he rest in the peace of Christ.
Consider it done, with a heavy heart.
But with faith that God will provide for your grandfather.
Arthur, Andrew,
My prayers are with your grandfather and your family.
-Jason
My prayers for your grandfather and my condolences to his family.
Yes of course.
My dear brothers in Christ,
My prayers are with you and your family.
I am sorry for your loss. He is in my prayers.
My sincere condolensces to you, and your grandfather will be in my prayers!
Fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace.
Lex perpetua luceat eo.
Dear Andrew and Arthur,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Gong-gong. I have lost both of my maternal grandparents so I can empathize with you. May he be welcomed into Paradise with Our Lord, Mary, the Holy Martyrs of China and All the Saints!
Eric Waltemate D.C.
I am so sorry for your loss of your grandfather. Prayers for the repose of his soul & for your entire family, as well as the doctors.
