Rest in Peace Grandpa Jim

Kevin's Grandpa Jim died early yesterday morning. He battled cancer for more than 10 years going to University of Michigan Hospital for treatments. He was considered by many a "medical miracle" because he just kept beating the cancer. This time last year Kevin and I were on the Relay for Life committee...we honored Grandpa Jim and he even came to the event wearing his Relay for Life t-shirt...it was so special. He was a very funny man and loved his family. Dane was his first and only great grandchild. He was a teacher in Waverly for many years before retiring.
Keep Kevin and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they struggle with the grief that death brings. I know they do feel some comfort knowing that Grandpa Jim is in heaven and that he is finally cancer-free. The funeral is on Saturday.
