The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away...

My sweet angel mother came to help with the first week of Isaac's life. She was a God-send. Then with a quick turn of events she was called to be with her father before he departed this life. His fight with cancer came to a peaceful end on March 10, 2010. Today, March 16th is his birthday and he would have been 85.


These next pictures are "pictures of pictures" and my hand is not very steady, so kind of blurry.
Mom is the oldest of 3 children.

Grampa loved to garden and toodle around outside.

His favorite spot over looking Lake Champlain in New York. He provided this "Camp" for our summer escape every year growing up. It was the highlight of the year.


I love you Grampa!! You'll always have a special place in my heart. I hope to carry on your legacy of love, kindness, and generosity.

Courtney, This was such a beautiful tribute to your Grampa! It is so comforting to know that one day we will be reunited with those that we miss & those that have gone beyond this life! He was a wonderful man to love his posterity as he did & still does!

You are so blessed to have a lot of special memories and great pictures to remember your grandpa. I'm so glad your mom was able to be there for you and for him. Things must have worked out just right. Hope all will continue to go well. Take good care of yourself and that precious family of yours.
