With Great Sadness
POSTED BY Amy at 6:18 PM

Today we are mourning the loss of my wonderful grandfather. He passed away last night very unexpectedly and our hearts are so heavy right now. Those of you on Facebook and Twitter who have left messages- I have received and read every single one! Thank you so much for thinking of us during this time and for your kind words.
My grandfather was a great man who loved the Lord with his whole heart. I know that he is in heaven and I am thankful he will not have to suffer anymore.
Please keep our family on your prayer list and thank you for being such wonderful friends to me!

"Praying that knowledge of his salvation gives you comfort and peace. We lost two grandparents this past Christmas and it's never easy even when they have lived a long and full life. The pain we feel is evidence that they were loved deeply."
