He will be missed.....

8.17.2011

I kindly request prayers for my family today.  I got a very un-wanted early morning phone call today that has my emotions all over the place.  In some ways the news is good....I know my Grandpa is now without pain, suffering, sickness and any anguish that he felt the last few months of his life, but i'm also grieving the death of someone who was very special to me. It's sad to think never again will I watch him take beautiful pictures of his family/friends with pride and honor, never again will I see him get all excited about a good hockey or baseball game,........no more home made spices, sauces or chicken soups will be made by him without a single recipe being followed, no more Grandpa hugs and kisses will be given and most importantly gone are the days of him sharing wise and knowledgeable words about the Lord.  He was a giving man, a man of integrity, and he was like a Grandfather/Father to those in his church family as well.

I was very blessed and proud to be his Granddaughter! 


Here is a picture of a card I had all ready to mail to him this week...my daughter colored it and I thought it would make him smile...

  2. So sorry to hear about the passing of a great man in your family. I pray that our Father in Heaven, the great comforter, holds each of you in this time of mourning. It is sooooo hard to say goodbye. Hugs to you friend. xo
