We’re back…
Hello all.
It’s been awhile since we wrote. Things have been very busy here. My grandfather passed away on January 3rd so we were up in Harrisonburg for about a week just being with family and helping around my parents house and my grandparents house. We’re all getting by, though it’s definitely hard. Thinking back, I guess it was two weeks ago today, at about this time (noon) that he passed away. My grandmother, thankfully, was with him and he just fell asleep. He had a lot of dignity in the last few days that he hadn’t had for a few months so we are all grateful.
The funeral was very nice, as far as funerals go. Stu got to meet a Virginia Senator, Senator Hanger, who was a good friend of my grandfather’s, as well as the Mayor of Elkton (who I could have punched in the face for saying something at the viewing that I didn’t like) and the Mayor of Harrisonburg. Pa-pa was buried next to his mother and father in Elkton and had Masonic (read FREAKY) rites at the cemetery.
Under the cut is the program passed out at his funeral, the obituary that the family wrote for him, as well as an article in the Harrisonburg paper about him.
