A special thank you to the UW lung transplant team for the 13 extra years we all had to share with him, Pastor Scott for his comforting visits and Agrace HospiceCare for the care and concern shown during his final journey. "A thousand times we needed you. A thousand times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. A heart of gold stopped beating; two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best." Never a day will go by that you won't be in our hearts and our souls. Rest in peace, Grandpa!
