Well, the waiting is over and now the healing can begin. Yesterday at about 3:30, Grampie passed away. We were all there. Arlene started reading from the bible, and I think that's when he knew he was ready.

So, the family wake is tonight. The public wakes are tomorrow. And the funeral is on Tuesday. After that, things can start getting back to normal.

Rachel and David and Michael came over right after Dale's funeral (their stepdad) only to find their grandfather gone. My heart is going out to them... they have a rough time in front of them... but in the end, we have each other and our faith to help us through this.
