Till we see you again

After 87 years of life and 63 years of marriage, my Grandpa Helleman (my mom's dad) passed away late Saturday night on the eve of his 87th birthday. Though he had been having considerable health problems as of late, his death came somewhat unexpectedly. Though it is very sad to see him go, we rejoice that he is now with our Lord in a place prepared just for him. Prayers for the family, and particularily my Grandma would be appreciated. The wake and funeral/celebration of life are to take place later this week in Ottawa.

Aw Rach, I'm sorry to hear that. Imagine, though, being married for 63 years! Your grandma must be lonely now.
