My wonderful Grandpa went to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 17, 2008. He was one of the most humble men I knew. He was a tiny little farmer who loved the Lord and lived his life pointing others to his Heavenly Father. I remember spending a week every summer at the farm following Grandpa everywhere. I loved to help him with the baby chicks. He even tried to teach me to drive the tractor one summer. I remember I backed the tractor into the hay wagon that was hooked on behind. Grandpa just chuckled and took over going in reverse for me.
We were not able to make it back to Iowa for the funeral due to the weather. That was a hard decision to make, but I kept in close contact with my Mom and Dad and they helped me feel like I was involved.
