My sweet, wonderful Grandad passed away last night. He was 94. He lived a long, incredible life and was a blessing to all who knew him. Hardworking, tough, generous, kind, funny and sharp as a tack. Here he is with my grandma, who is also 94 (although she would never want that fact broadcast). The two of them were always an amazing pair. But Gran's weary body needed rest, and the Lord called him home. I'll be heading to Savannah this week to celebrate his beautiful life. My family and I would be grateful for your thoughts and prayers.
Philippians 3:20-21 -- But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body.
I am so sorry for your loss <3 sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
