Grandpa GG

Yesterday was a very sad day...Grandpa GG passed away. He got really sick about 3 weeks ago...and that was it. Congestive heart failure and Fibrosis of the lungs. Our hearts are broken. He was 87 years old and would have been married 67 years to Grandma GG. They had a love like no other. They did EVERYTHING together. And, the family that they built was amazing and unique. 6 children, 16 grandkids and 13 great-grandkids. Not to mention the extended family; brothers, a sister, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nephews, nieces, cousins, friends and all of the godchildren. The list went on an on. Grandpa was a gentle man with a great smile and a tight hug for everyone. He had a way of making anyone who came in contact with him feel special. We all felt like we were his #1. I will be forever grateful that he was a part of my life for such a long time...but mostly that Jake, Sophie & Deon got to know him too. I am so proud and blessed to have such a wonderful grandparents. I'm happy to think about GG up in heaven reuniting with all of those who went before him. God Bless him! He will be missed dearly and I will love him forever and ever. Rest in Peace Gramps!
