Last night my last living grandparent, James Whitman, passed away in his sleep, after an extended stay at the hospital in ill health. I will be attending his funeral.
May you be at peace, my grandfather. I will miss you. Although we haven’t seen very much of each other over the past several years, I have always treasured the visits that I did make to your home. I love your dry sense of humor that you shared with your late brother, Stewart - one of my very best friends, despite the vast difference in our ages. I love the kindness that you showed to my children when we visited. I will miss the connected, knowing “look” that you sometimes shot my way. I’ll see you around.
I will, and do, remember you as I will your late ex-wife, my mother’s mothe, Doris Whitman and your late wife, Marion. These were two ladies that also touched my life in positive ways. Also, I will, and do, remember Harold Thompson and Leona Thompson, my father’s parent. May you all be resting well. Without your influence, I would be a different person than I am today. Thank you.
Mom, I’m thinking about you right now. I grieve for your loss as well as mine.
I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss too Corey.
Condolences Corey, my thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks, everyone. You know, even when his mind was starting to wander wherever it went to, he never forgot who I was. He wold look over at me, as if we knew something that everyone else didn’t. I don’t know what we were conspiring about, but I did know that he was fully aware of who he was communicating with.
I express my condolences too Corey as I about 7 months ago lost my last living grandparent, Robert Howard. I had a dream about him a couple of nights ago so their spirits obviously affected us in very powerful ways!
Thank you for your kind wishes on the phone and in person yesterday, Devin.
For some reason I didn’t check out this post earlier. I’m sorry to hear about your loss and I offer you my sincere condolences.
