The Death of my Dad

It's on a sad note that I announce the death of my dad. He was a kind soul who was always there for his family and friends. He was the neighbor who was always there to lend you a helping hand when you were putting in a new lawn, fixing a broken fence post or putting on a new roof. He loved ice cream, hamburgers, chocolate chip cookies, a frosty mug of beer on a hot day and a steamy hot mug of coffee every day!

He died this past Sunday, September 5th, 2010 in his sleep. I like to think that he's in heaven taking a walk in a garden, no longer trapped in his body able to express his thoughts. That he is having a conversation with Jesus about fruit trees (he loved his fruit trees) and how best we can go about to feed the hungry of the world.

  2. Sandie,
    Thank you for your comments on my blog today. I decided to visit your blog today and was saddened to see the death of your father. Our love and prayers to you and your family! I caught up on all the lastest news-I never realized your son was going to school here. Lana went to SDSu and loved it!
