Pope Danny

I have some sadness to share.. my husbands grandfather Danny past away last tuesday morning. He had a surgery in the hospital and was suppose to come home when he got struck by a massive heartattack!

We are all so sad.. he will be missed dearly!

I knew Grandpa just for three years.. but it feels like he has always been my grandpa. When i was pregnant with Ally and new to America, he drove me to all my doctor's appointments and waited all the time patiently. Grandma used to say that grandpa and i are having a date.

And that he was a great man and well known and loved got visible when there was the visit for Grandpa on Friday. Around 350 people showed up to say goodbye! It was so wonderful! And not talking about all the flowers people sent. I've never seen so many flowers before. I know grandpa got a kick out all of that! And specialy out the fishingpull and GONE FISHING sign he got put into his casket. I know he loved that!

The broken Chain

We litle knew that morning, that God

was going to call your name.

In life we love you dearly,

in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

you did not go alone;

for part of us went with you,

the day God called your home.

You left us peaceful memories,

your love is still our guide;

and though we cannot see you,

you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

and nothing seems the same;

but as God calls us one by one,

the chain will link again.
