We spent this afternoon with John's family. The pastor shared some words of blessing for Grandpa and the family. We all went out for dinner. We'd been home for 20 minutes when the phone rang - Grandpa is doing much worse.

He died at 9:15 PM tonight.

Alvin Goerzen, aka Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Brother, "Uncle Al", "Big A", friend; you will be missed.

Terah,

Dear Terah and John, I just got home a few hours ago and have been catching up on my favorite blogs. I've read and reread your's and Johns and feel like I knew his Grandpa. I feel both very sad for your loss and Joy for the life that was shared with you folks, for a time. I know there is some comfort when a long struggle like this is over but it is still a deep loss. I'm sure your greiving started some time ago as the realization of what was to come became apparent. Marilyn and I send our deepest sympathies and prayers.

Terah and John, we got home last nite and I have been catching up on my favorite blogs and am really saddened to hear of your loss. I must say that I feel like I knew 'Grandpa', by reading your accounts. May God's peace attend you and yours as you celebrate this life God shared with you for a time.
