A few minutes ago, our dear Gramp passed away. I have no words to describe his life, or our loss, right now. But I’ll say more later.
Rest in peace, Gramp. We’ll love you always.

Mike, I’m so sorry. Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon him. May God comfort you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Virtual hugs and love to you guys.
God bless and keep you all now, in all of this.
So sorry for your loss. Comfort and peace to you.
We are so sorry for the loss of “Grandpa” Bill on this earth.
Dad & Mom
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May God keep you in peace as you are separated from your family and may you all find comfort in the memories of his life.
oh, Mike. We’ll be praying for you guys, as you feel the pull to be with the rest of the family. But praising God for Will’s good progress in the meantime.
Oh my… these two short posts back-to-back. My heart leapt with joy and then sunk and caught in my throat. A tiny encapsulation of the rollercoaster you guys are on these days.
As ever, you are in my prayers. May God hold you close.
O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy, nourish their souls with patience, comfort them with a sense of thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
With much, much love to you all.
Tim
Loss poured on stress heaped on joy. So sorry about Grandpa.

Thinking of you and your family during this time, and praying God to hold you all close. Love, LMK.
