Goodbye Grandpa Jim

Today is the funeral for Mike's dad. It's going to be a tough, long, emotional day. When trying to pick some music for the service, we decided to see if we could get Daddy Steve to record Brody singing Jesus Loves Me. I doubt there will be a dry eye in the chapel when we play this song.

Brody kept asking me why I was crying when Dad played it for me. He is so sweet!

I will be praying for all of you today. May God give you strength and peace.

thinking of y'all at this time. What a special idea of having Brody sing. It reminds me that all God really cares about is that we have the heart of a child.

May God gather you all in his arms and give you peace that only He can provide.

Brody was very focused and really wanted to do a good job recording the song. I was very proud of the way he wanted to make it good for Grandpa Jim.

Brody sang so well and I know that Grandpa was happy to hear that sweet voice. I am sure there will not be a dry eye at the funeral. I just started bawling when he said "goodbye Grandpa Jim, I love you". I am praying for all of you. I know how difficult this day will be.
My love,
Gmommy

We didn't get a card sent, but we have been thinking of you and praying for you. Both Don and I have lost our Dads and it's just a pretty rough time. We prayed for him, and for you all, and know our Lord is sufficient to give you the strength needed as you go on. With our love and prayers, Don and Barb
