Our precious Pop went home to be with Jesus on Sunday morning around 3:15 am. Lori emailed Rob on Thursday and said she didn't think Pop had much more time, so Rob and I took off work on Friday and went to be with them. I'm so glad we went because we were able to talk with him and tell him things we wanted to say. Friday afternoon he started having a lot of pain and it was bad because Pop never complains. The hospice nurse put him on some heavy drugs and he didn't really wake up again before he passed away. All his family was there over the weekend and I know that was how he would have wanted it.
We're really going to miss him, I know it. His funny stories, his jokes, his thoughtfulness, his compassionate heart, his singing, his earthly love. It's bittersweet because we know now he is singing with the angels and he gets to walk with Jesus and see everything he couldn't see anymore on earth. But we're sad and we miss him already. He was so beloved by so many people that I'm sure the funeral on Thursday will be full. And it will be hard, but it will be good to celebrate someone we loved so much.
We love you and miss you already Pop!
