Today I am saying good-bye to Grandpa.
He will be missed dearly but we know
that he has gone on to his
eternal reward.
In talking to Dad this morning, he said that the last hymn that
Gpa chose was "Sing to Me the Songs of Zion".
I remember their trips to WI to visit us and going riding in the front of their VW bus. Ah...the trips to Medford and getting those cheap pieces of candy and just spending time with Gma and Gpa. Then after we moved to Dorchester, they would come and spend several weeks every year while parking their camper in our yard. Gpa was such a mild man-I don't remember ever hearing him raise his voice. He always had time for us no matter what was going on. And then, there is the woodworking that he loved to do and did so well. I am thankful for the blanket chest that I inherited from them that was originally made for Great Gma and Gpa Duesing - and the meaning that that chest has for me now is priceless.
You are gone but not forgotten.
You will live forever in our hearts.
Thank you for the faithful example
that you lived for us to look on.

My brother was such a meek loving man,,and like you said...he NEVER raised his voice, & he treated his loving wife as a new BRIDE every day. This was something I saw in his life from little on. Love & care Great Aunt Elaine
Yes, I believe we will be there, barring other natural or otherwise disasters!
Amen. Loved the old bus!
We didn't get to see them much, but we will still MISS him. He was a very gentle man, as is his wife, Elaine. So glad he has a HOME to go to, that takes the sting out of his death, LOVE Auntie Myrtle
