Difficult Day

Grandpa found out this morning that the husband of one of his co-workers died on Friday evening. The man had fought hard to stay here for his wife and family and friends.

He braved numerous surgeries and treatments. His wife battled valiantly with him. She tried to be at work and care very specifically for her husband. Grandpa did not always ask her each day how Charles was, but would let her come in and speak whenever she felt she needed.

We often remarked here at home where Jolene found her strength. We know she is quite open about her faith in Jesus Christ, she even has a picture of our Lord hanging in her office at work. Something very rare yet powerful in this day and age.

Grandpa visited the funeral home today at noon. He was quite sad as he returned to work. Our prayers are with Jolene at this time. We know for certain that Charles is now free of pain and healthy and is praising God in heaven.
