JHW

My Grandfather passed away last morning and though we have been expecting this for some time my heart still breaks mostly for my mom. She is now parent-less and as she put it... an orphan. My Poppa John was just a kind soul and lived a life of no regrets. He will be greatly missed, was much loved and will never be forgotten.

    "A kind soul and lived a life of no regrets." What a nice eulogy for Poppa John.

    My sympathy to you and the family, and to all who loved him.

    I'm so sorry to hear that, Claire. Your mother often spoke lovingly of your grandparents when we would get together. Please extend our sympathy to her and your family.
