Sad news...

Not that we would want any of you to find out this way, but sometimes we need a little space in our grief. Grandpa Gary passed away last night about 7:00 pm. Sounds like all the kids and Grandma Sue were with him, and he died very peacefully surrounded by all these loving hearts. Grandma Sue is still in the hospital with her twisted intestine, but from what I hear is doing fine physically, and surviving closely monitored by Kris, Hans, and Barb. Because of her condition, arrangements for services have been delayed. We'll try to let all of you know when and how as soon as we can.

I'm not there, but I know I can safely represent the family in thanking you all dearly for you love, support, and prayers thru Grandpa's battle. We covet your continued support as we mourn the loss of our patriarch.

Grandpa, we love you, we're so proud of you for fighting this great fight so gracefully. I'm so glad you and Grandma found each other over 57 years ago, and that you've seen the fruits of your family thru three more generations. We'll miss you, but you'll always be a part of us.
