Sending our love and sympathy to family. Such a shock! My first thought went to Aiden and Gracie. I know how much they love their grandparents. Praying God will comfort you as you walk through this valley.
Lyndsey and family, we were so shocked to hear this. We had just learned that morning of a death in the family on Jimmys side which was unexpected also. One wonderful thing, to be absent from the body, present with the Lord. We miss our loved ones terribly, but take comfort in knowing that in just a short time, we will be with them again. You have your faith, stand firm in it. And take comfort in knowing that he is with his Heavenly Father, and all is well. This is not your goodbye, but see you soon. Love to all the family.
