Last Thursday, May 22, 2008, Josh's dad returned to his Father in Heaven. He had fought diabetes for a long time. He passed away at home and we were blessed to be with him during his last days on this earth. Today was his funeral. It was beautiful. He is a retired State Trooper so fellow Troopers were there to honor him. One of his brothers spoke, a fellow Trooper spoke as well as a family friend. They all did a great job.
He was laid to rest at the Veterans Memorial Park here in Junction. He was honored with a 21 gun salute as well as words from fellow Veterans. Josh's mom was then presented with the American Flag.
We are so blessed to have had Grandpa Jack in our lives. I know Josh misses his dad. But as he said, "It's harder to watch him suffer every day. Now I know he is at peace."
So, rest now Dad. You fought a good fight.
We Love You!
