We went to Perkins (just outside of Stillwater), Oklahoma last week to attend my grandfather's funeral. While it was a sad visit, we knew it was the best thing for grandpa. He had really begun to suffer and none of us wanted that. Grandma even told me that she "hoped God could forgive her b/c I was praying to take him up to heaven so he wouldn't suffer any longer." It was really hard to see how sad she was during the service--they had been married for 63 years! She was so happy to have her family and friends around her, though. Grandpa led a long, full life and I was thankful to have had him in my life. I will always have the fun memories of fishing with him, playing cards, walking on his back, having him teach me to eat tomatoes like apples, and watermelons will always remind me of he and grandma. I love you Grandpa!
