I don't venture to the prayer section often so I missed this, but my sympathies are with you and your family as well. Sorry for your loss.

I didnt see your post b4, either. Thanks, Tom for bringing it to our attention. Hippie, I, too, am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers:hug

I just saw your post. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

[MERE CHAT]

I missed this too. My last grandparent passed in 1983, but hubby still has his Nana who is 96 and her health is failing. It's so hard to lose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless!

[ahippiechic]

Thanx again guys. He would have been 92 today. My grandparents raised me since I was 3 weeks old, so really were my parents.

[erinma]

[nanajoanie]

So sorry for your loss. Hard to loose anyone you love, especially a 'parent' which you grandpa was, your parent. Remember the good times, the sillies, the disipline, the fun, the birthdays and other times. Huggles, Nanajoanie

Hippiie so sorry for your los I so loved my grandparents they were just the best not a day goes by I dont think of them. Again so sorry My Granny always said the only thing we leave is our memory not a day goes by I dont think of them both as long as you think of them thell always be with you

[ahippiechic]

I have his wallet with all his things in it and his Bible. It's full of pix, newspaper clippings etc. Also, he always made notations in the margins of his Bible and it also had some sermon notes in there, probably 10 years old. And some love notes between him and grandma and they are so sweet. Also found a pic of he and I when I was a baby and it's one I had never seen before.

It's sad to look thru them, but it made me smile as well, to see those things he thought important and that he kept for so many years.

[YankeeMary]

I am so sorry about your "daddy" as well Connie. I can't imagine. I am glad that you did get a few of his most important life things. I think its great that you got his Bible, as you have spoken numerous times of him being religious, you really got the best thing, something that money couldn't buy. Hugs to you!!!

[CLARKS4]

Welcome back and our prayers are with you.
