We Love You, Grandpa
My paternal grandfather passed away Sunday night. As my sister Stacey already wrote, we were lucky to live close to both sets of grandparents. Grandpa survived the loss of his only daughter Donna to cancer - something no parent ever wants. We used to spend summers taking dips in their pool and in their summer home in Marion. He taught us how to fish and let us pull off his fake beard when he dressed up as Santa Claus every Christmas. Although he never went to college he provided for his family and all his went to college. Grandpa got the chance to meet his great-grandkids this Christmas.

Oh dear. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad he was able to meet the kids.
I'm thinking about you in your time of grief. I lost my grandfather a few weeks ago too. Having my kids and seeing them interact with my dad as their Grandfather put a whole new perspective on my experiences with him. I'm glad your little ones got to meet him and I hope for you that your good memories help comfort you!
I am so sorry for your loss. Love the pics of him at your wedding and with the grandkids.
I'm sorry for your loss. Thinking of your family in your time of grief.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you all.
I'm so sorry, sweetie. He was clearly loved by a wonderful family he helped build.
Aw :( I'm so sorry! Please let me know if there's anything we can do.
Beautiful photos Krissy. We will all miss Chet!
So sorry to hear about your grandpa, Kristin! Big hugs from Sweden!
Hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was proud to be a great-grandpa.
