After 101+ years of life, we lost our grandfather. He died peacefully with his three kids sitting by his side, which was really cool. He leaves behind 12 grandkids and a LOT of great-grandkids, too. There are a lot of tears for the younger kids as this is their first time dealing with loss. And, although they know they will see him in Heaven again some day, they are struggling with normal emotions.
Please pray for peace and comfort for the little ones and even us older ones as well. I am really going to miss him!

As an aside, it's really cool to think about what he (and others like him) saw and experienced in his lifetime: the Great Depression, World War II, Civil Rights movements, Vietnam, Korea, the advent of color tv, the internet and mobile phones, etc. It was truly the greatest generation!
Lastly, he flew 35 missions as a bomber in World War II. 27 times he returned to base with holes in his plane. I thank God for his grace and mercy in keeping Granddad alive and protecting the future of our family as we know it today.
Grace and Peace to you all! And thanks for your prayers!
