My Grandpa in Idaho passed away late Saturday night. I loved him dearly and will miss him. I am so grateful I was able to go "home" for Christmas and visit with him and my Grandma, I will cherish those last memories spent with my children and their Great Grandpa.

Great Grandpa and XanderI have many memories of my Grandpa, but I will never forget when he carried me around at college after my foot surgery. He couldn't stand to see me crawl so he carried me. :) He was so strong and so willing to give to others. He will be missed!

I am so sorry to hear that. Grandparents are such treasures. I wish you and your family the best during this hard time. Love ya!
I'm sorry Kristi. That is so hard. He sounds like a wonderful man. Consider yourself hugged. Love you!!!
I'm sorry Kristi. Call me so I can return the babysitting favor!!!!!!!
I'm so sorry to read that news, Kristi, as I know it is hard to miss a sweet grandfather! I hold all those memories close in my heart right now - esp the ones between my kids and my Papa! I'll be praying for your family!
Oh sweetie I am so very sorry to hear that. I remember when I saw the pics you posted at Christmas thinking how lucky you was to still have him with you. I know you will gain comfort in clinging to his precious memories. Love you, Auntie Vicki
I am so sorry Kristi. He was such a funny man! I will miss him with you. Let me know when the funeral services will be and where. I am assuming they will be in Idaho but would love to come if they are closer. Love ya-tell your mom we love her too!!
Kristi-Ruth Ann told me that yesterday in church but somehow I didn't put it together that it was your grandpa. She told me that it was Garth's dad, but I just did not make that connection. Ashley just told me and then it clicked. I am so sorry and my first thought was that I was so glad that you made the effort to go and see them when you were here. You will always be so grateful that you made that effort. How is your grandma doing?
Are you going to come back for the funeral or is that not possible? If you need me to help call me. Just know that we love you sweets and are praying that you will be comforted. Love to your babies and to your "big" baby! (Derek) Dianne
