Kelli and her father, Mark Windorski.

In the final stages of cancer, Omaha home remodeler Mark Windorski, 53, knew he wouldn’t live to see his daughter’s wedding in May.

But Kelli, 26, had a surprise.

As people gathered in and around her dad’s Methodist Hospital room on Nov. 4, a recorded “Wedding March” was played. In walked Kelli — in a wedding gown.

About 20 relatives, nurses and others applauded. As Mark was embraced by Roxie, his wife of 32 years, he wept.
