I have actually only seen him once in the last 5 years. He was in his 80's.

I am so sorry this has happened you have my deepest sympathy. I can understand how you feel, I have gotten this call twice about some one the was very close to me. For some reason when that phone rings you know before you pick up the phone what it is. I had that feeling. Again..you and your family have my deepest sympathy. God Bless all of you.

I got the call from my brother who I rarely talk(we get along fine, he just is not much of a talker) to so I knew something was up right away.

Thank you howard96h, yes it is sad. I have already lost both grandmothers, so with him gone I only have one grandparent still alive.

Lilybug, please accept my condolences for the passing of your grandpa. Yeah, even when we know something like that is imminent, it is still hard to accept when we hear the news. Seems as though you have quite a large family, at least everyone will be there to support each other during this tough time. My prayers and sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your whole family. Take care

That has got to be so hard. I'm sorry lilybug. My own grandpa is nearing the end of his life, and I'm going to miss him terribly. So I want to show him how much I love him as long as I can. I hope you and your family can be comforted in this time.
