I know I haven't been here at all in awhile but thank you all so much for your thoughts & concerns for our family. Papaw (like Angie mentioned) did protect all of us at times by taking the heat off of us and directing the attention to himself. I didn't see him even as much as Angie did. I always worried that my four kids would hurt more than help. His nerves were very bad which contributed to his health problems. Angie & I were working on a scrapbook for him which is nowhere near finished. I'm hoping to get it finished before the funeral and put it in the casket with him. I think it would have meant so much to him, but I'm not sure we can get it done in time. If we don't I still want to complete it but he is being put in a mosoleum (sp?) & I'm not sure what to do with it. The main things that bother me now are that I wasn't here all week while he got worse, I didn't call on father's day. I had planned on doing a dinner and giving him the scrapbook, but now its too late. I should have called. also, how my brothers, sisters & Mom really are. and lastly, if he was in pain or if it happened quickly. I worry because he was alone at home with Mamaw. Our brother was out. She is very hard of hearing. He could have screamed & she wouldn't have heard him. Again thank you all for a place we can ley emotions out & for your thoughts of our family.

Dear Chandra,
Did Pawpaw pass? It sounds like he did. I'm so sorry,

Judy, yes, our grandfather passed away late last night. As you can see from my previous post, it was completely unexpected. He had gotten back to normal (his normal anyway) and he seemed to be doing great when suddenly he just passed. The EMT workers were so sweet and nice and they did everything they could to help him, but there really wasn't anything to do. They got a very faint heartbeat right before they left for the ER, but when they got there, there was nothing again and nothing more they could do. My family, especially my siblings and my mother (and myself too) are having a difficult time dealing with this loss, but we know he would've wanted us to live our lives and be happy.
The services are this Sunday so that our family from Florida, California, and Pennsylvania can make it. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Dear Angie,
I know. I read your other thread. It's very sad. Judy
