It was a good weekend...

Well, it was a great weekend! It was good to get together with everyone on the Bridgwater side of the family. There were 44 of us in the immediate family! All of the kids were so well behaved and we got to visit with the cousins that we hardly get time with anymore.
The service for Grandpa was perfect. All the stories that were told, memories that we shared and people who love him. There were so many people! Three rows of volunteers came from the hospital that he and grandma volunteer at. Grandpa made such an impact on this world that I don't think we even really know the scope of. Grandma said that she was told by a member of the church, "I wouldn't be a Christian today if it weren't for Emmitt." Grandma said she had no idea that Grandpa had gone to this person's house and sat with them for a long time, talking and finally invited him to the church. The next Sunday this man went to church and became a Christian...then his daughters followed.
It is amazing that even after 67 + years of marriage, Grandma didn't know how much of an impact Grandpa had on this person's life.

We all miss him sooo much!

Please be praying for Grandpa Jack (my mom's father). He is in the hospital. My Aunt Sandy took him this morning and he has severe dehydration and they are testing him for pneumonia. Grandma Helen (his wife) has been fighting some respiratory stuff, but Mom said that she sounded pretty good this morning.

Hoping all is well with everyone out there...
