This morning my Grandpa went to be with the Lord and also to be reunited with his one true love, my Grandma. Jane and Grafton were together for almost 60 years and were the type of couple that still held hands and opened doors for each other. Grandma Jane passed away almost a decade ago and Grandpa still talked with her every day. He is now at peace and he is now with her. We will miss you and tell everyone hello for us!
And also my sweet grandma Dolly who passed away a few Christmas's back will ALWAYS be remembered. Ya'll, this was a down home SOUTHERN woman who would lay down the law and tell it like it is (literally) and boy her cooking was hands down the absolute best. We miss you Dolly! We miss you all everyday!
Philippians 1:21-23
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
John 14:27-29
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

Colossians 2:5
For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ
