Some time ago I wrote in my blog that I had been visiting in Idaho with my family and that my dad's health was failing. One week after I had returned home to North Carolina my sister called and told me that Dad had passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was one week shy of his 90th birthday.
It is always hard to say goodbye to a loved one, but he was so tired and he was ready to go. He hung on until he was able to see all his children and grandchildren one last time and he was content. We are very thankful for all the wonderful memories we have of him and that we had him with us for so long. He is now resting in the arms of the Savior and we are also thankful for that.
We love you, Daddy, and will miss you.

What a beautiful posting and great picture. "Amazing Grace" always just gets me, so I'm glad I procrastinated and didn't put on make-up quite yet. I like to think of Grandpa at rest too.
