Sad Update

My grandpa died during the night last night- very sad news. I didn't find out about it (that he had a lung tumor,) until yesterday evening so I was planning on calling today. Unfortunately I got another voicemail from Esther while I was out running this morning from 8:15am-9:30am informing me that he had already passed. Woah. Things happen so quickly some times. Very sad. :( Grandpa, you were loved and will be missed!
