We would like to sincerely thank Intermountain Hospice and Homecare for their kind, caring and gentle manner while attending to our Dad. They were with us for 3 short days, but their compassion made all the difference in the world and we appreciate everything they did for our Dad and for us. They made his passing so much more bearable and they allowed our Dad the dignity he deserved. Fred has expressed his wishes to be cremated. Cremation will be under the direction of Aaron's Mortuary of Ogden. Fred also requested that there be no service and would joke that we could do anything with his ashes except *flush* them. We will respect all of his wishes.
