Thanks again everyone. Words can not express how thankful I am for your prayers.

Here is his obit if any are interested in seeing it.

Thanks Mel.He was a great man. Might have met my Dad in Africa and Italy or even a CCC camp. They will forever be a part of who we are today. I see some of my Dad in my grandson sometimes. Without them there would be no us. Peace to your heart.

And our Lord now holds him close in His Kingdom. Your Grandpa is now dancing with the Saints and thank you Mel for sharing him with us while he was here.

Sorry I am ust now getting to you. I do not come here much. I am so sorry you have lost your grandfather. I pray that you will find some comfort in the fact he is not suffering now and in a better place. Take care.

Default My regrets to loosing your Grandpa

Mellody - lost mine some time ago and I wept like a sick puppy. My heart was broken and I was mad that he had to die. I understand its difficult and moreso if he raised you. I lived with my Grandpa for several years and being an old Italian man he showed me the ropes and made me aware of more things then I ever would have known - had I not spent that time with him.

My respects to your family and my heart does hurt for your loss. Prayer's out and let the healing begin. You have memories and those will stay with you all your life. God Bless
