We'll Miss You.

My Papa (my Mom's Dad) passed away yesterday at 93 years old. He was a very loving and giving man. He loved to sing and had a deep, rich, bass voice. He was always a member of at least one choir, and that lasted until I think even a year ago! He was a hard worker--first on their farm, and then after moving from there he would do outside work as much as possible--that is, until his body would no longer permit him to do that. He was definitely a family man--with one wife, 9 children, 42 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren, he would have to be!! He was good-natured, and always had a smile to give away. He lived a good long life, and is now at home with Jesus. It will be strange going home without him there, but I know he is no longer suffering in his temporary body. We love you and will miss you, Papa, but we will see you again!
