Gramps


Meade's great grandfather passed away this past week. It has been a sad, sad time for our family. We are so fortunate to have spent the time we did with him. To have learned what we learned from him. He was a great role model, a hard worker, a volunteer at hospice and a local thrift shop, an avid bird watcher, a gardener and loved more than anything to walk the family dogs. He was such a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather and great grandfather.
Meade really brightened his spirits during his final hours. We take comfort in knowing that. He lived to be 89 years old. But it still wasn't long enough. We miss you Gramps!
