Let's try this again...
It's been a strange first month in Ohio - yes, we've been here a month!
A terribly horrible thing happened 10 days after we moved back (August 26, 2007). Mike's dad, Warren, had a heart attack while painting the porch and died. We cannot even imagine traveling all the way from NY with this news, so thank goodness we were already here. While death is always difficult, he wasn't even sick, so everyone was (is still) totally shocked. We certainly already miss him immensely, but I don't think anyone really feels that he is actually gone. He always said that he wanted to go the way his father had, so that at least is reassuring. We are so very happy and thankful that we are in town to help Jackie with everything. Warren was one of the sweetest, kindest, gentlest people on Earth, and we only hope to live a life of which he would be proud. God bless you Warren!

What wonderful photos you have, sharing such fun times...someday, Anna will treasure these and all of the great memories you can share with her of her beloved "Bampa". He sure did enjoy the heck out of his Grandkids, didn't he? We send our love to you and your family and keep you all in our prayers as you carry on, with him in heaven and in your hearts. We love you!
Love,
Jenny, Jed, Emma, Anna, Ella & Ty
