Stan passed very peacefully on Friday, February 24th at 6:00am Eastern time. He had been sleeping almost all of the time, very weak and non-responsive for the last day. He wasn't anxious or in any pain, his body was just so weak he couldn't continue. We had alot of time together and I was with him when he left us. Relative are here from all over and our friends and neighbors have been wonderful. Food baskets, hugs and phone calls have certainly helped. We have been taking care of my grandfather for 4 years, so this is a very abrupt changes for us. We're busy making funeral plans but after the initial whirlwind is over I know I'm really going to miss my grandfather, he was more like my father, actually. Our minister came over to the house and had a prayer/remembrance time with the family members who can't stay for the funeral and that was nice for everyone. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and kind words of encouragement!
