My heartfelt thanks to all who prayed for and kept in their hearts my Grandfather when he began what has turned out to be a mercifully brief illness.
He passed away today in the company of my Father and Mother back east around 7:30 PM their time. His condition had deteriorated rapidly over the last week.
It is an almost unique blessing to have made it to my 42nd birthday with all of my Grandparents alive and I thank God for every moment I have had with them.

May The Holy one of Israel be with You and Your Precious Family during Your time of sorrows.
Our Risen Messiah ~ The LORD Jesus, has welcomed Your Grand Father into Heaven, saying..."Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant, now Enter Your Reward."
Amen and Amen.
The Lord of Tender Mercies Loves You, draw close to Him in this Your hour of great need...king Dovid, through The Ruach HaKodesh/The Holy Spirit wrote: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion Forever". (Psalm 73:26, NIV).
You are in my thoughts and Prayers.
God Bless and Keep You and Your Family.
