The battle is over...January 11, 2007 at 9:20 am, my father passed away. He went very peacefully, thank God. I want to thank everyone for all of their thoughts and prayers. He leaves behind his wife Loretta, his sons, John, Tom and Justin and me, his daughter. He will be missed for years to come by his grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Samuel, Joshua, Tyler and Lauren (his unborn grandchild). This has been a very rough day for all of us. Please continue to pray for all of us during this time.
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Kim- my heart just broke for you when Jay told me about your dad. Marsha called him as soon as she heard. Although, it sounds trite- I WILL be praying for you. Hopefully you feel those prayers carrying you through the next days and months ahead. We love you all- Jason and Holly
Kim,
Like John you displayed a great amount of strength during this time. As your mom it was not easy to watch. I am so glad that the three of you could be there to support each other. I am so glad you allowed me and encouraged me to be involved in this difficult time. You are a wonderful mother and wife and your relationship with Christ was evident by the manner you conducted yourself during the most trying times. I am so proud to say you are my daughter.
Love, Mom
