The world is a better place because my father-in-law spent 63 years here making his mark.
He greeted his last day on earth much the same way he began many of his days; with a hearty "Good Morning!"
His final moments were spent in the arms of his lifelong sweetheart and surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Some of us spent the evening sorting through boxes of old photos.
Some of us spent our time cooking, trying to make ourselves feel useful by offering nourishment in the best way we know how.
We lost one of the good ones today.
Thank you for your kind words, your well wishes, you prayers for comfort and your good vibes. I know they mean so much to my husband and his family. and to me, too.

I remember Forrest beating on Earl with a plastic sword after Creed's baptism. Earl just sat there staring at him with a smirk on his face.

Liz, I'm so sorry for your loss... Buy I am so happy for you that you got to spend so much time with your father-in-law and family. I did this same thing with my grandfather just a week before this, and those moments are some of the most sacred in my life. We sure miss you guys out here!
