Thank you for your post and for the prayers from everyone. I will print up the posts, and give them to my mother, as she does not use the computer. (I am his youngest daughter.) My dad's ashes will be spread on the ranch this coming Tuesday. He leaves behind five daughters, their husbands, and his wife and numerous grandchildren. My daughter is working on his eulogy, which she and her sister will present at the ceremony. The rough draft is below:

Back in March, Grandpa had me drive him around in his truck, and he gave me a long list of things he wanted to make sure I told everyone. It was our last long talk, and he told me a lot of things. He told me how pleased he was with his lot in life, and that his life was going to end with him being pleased to have made the most of his chance, and grateful he had that chance. He told me there were things he wished had turned out different, but nothing he had done, that he would have actually changed if given the chance. He was a laughing man, who was forever trying to lighten the mood in any given situation. He loved jokes, laughter, silly things, and his family. He asked me to tell everyone to not grieve any longer than they had to, because he wanted us to be happy and laughing just as soon as possible. He also asked that I make sure everyone knew how much he loved them. He loved his wife, his siblings, his daughters, his grandchildren. He kept telling me how lucky he considered himself, and wouldn’t agree with me when I told him we were the lucky ones. He told me how he still thought his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world, but that all his daughters and granddaughters came close, and that he thought his grandsons might be as handsome as he was. He told me he was so very proud of all of us. He may have been stubborn to a fault (at least all of us here come by it honestly), but a lesser man would have faltered in the face of what he faced in his life. But through it all, he did all that he could and more for his family, and loved of us each so much that the man I had never seen cry, started to when trying to describe how much he loved us. He said that we were his life, and that the only thing he was sad about was that he’d be leaving us, but that at least his life wasn’t wasted. I miss him. We miss him. We loved him, he loved us. Even as we are giving his ashes back to the land he poured so much of himself into, the land that gave him a challenge to keep fighting every day, he hasn’t really left us, as long as we remember his laughter, his hugs, his stubbornness and his love.
