My "Marvelous" Dad went to be with Mom and the arms of our precious Lord, Wed. June 25th after suffering heart failure. I was blessed that week by a visit from him for a hair cut. That morning we joked about how good he looked in his gown with such a good hair cut. He was happy and sweet to everyone that day, but his heart continued to give out and 12 hrs. later, 20 of us, as a family, gathered around him, sang his favorite hymns, gave kisses and goodbyes to this wonderful, Godly, loving, positive, Christian example. He left his fingerprints everywhere with what he did for so many --his handywork. He is missed and will live forever in our hearts and memories. We were blessed to know such a man. "Well done good and faithful servant." We LOVE DAD, Grandad and Great Grandad. He's humming and whistling in Heaven.

The day he left just came too fast. i want to see him today, to hear his laughter,see his smile and hear his joyful voice of reasurence and encouragement. my mom, lovely being,gentle, kind,understanding, both are absent and the silence is , on some days,is so empty and just sad.
