Grandpa is singing with the Heavenly Choir

I wanted to write a quick note to our friends and family who faithfully follow our blog regarding the events of the past week.

We said goodbye to a great, Godly, loving and cherished man on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010. Our dear Grandpa Jack Crombie went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I want to thank you all for your loving words, kindness, offers of help and prayer and especially for all the support you have extended to our family. It means so much to us.

Robert and I are having a difficult time with this. We both have had our moments of sobbing, laughing, sorrow and joy. Throughout it all, we are comforted knowing that Grandpa has a new body now, free from the bondage of pain he was in. However, it doesn't change the fact that we love and miss him incredibly. We know that he is singing with the Heavenly Choir now, and watching over us every day.

We apologize that we haven't been able to return every phone call and email, but want you to know we've received them all, and we're doing our best to take this one day at a time.

I ask for your prayers, as the memorial is tomorrow afternoon. Robert is going to give a speech, and I am going to be there to support him. This will not be an easy day.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all you've been praying for and doing for us. We appreciate it more than you can know.
