Father remained alone at the Winkler home for almost one year until he was hospitalized on Dec. 04, 2001 due to a week heart and shortness of breath.

Here he remained until his date of placement at Tabor Home of Morden, on Feb. 04 2002. His prayer was that he could be together with his wife for at least a short time and this was granted to him for 2 weeks and 4 days, when he again was hospitalized on Feb. 22.
