RIP My Pop-Pop (Grandpa)

Died at 1 pm today. He had been recovering from a stroke he had back in the summer, but his death was still unexpected.

R.I.P Everyone who died in the Haiti Earthquake.

My Grandmother on my dad's side died the 18th, I was to tied up with all that, that I haven't had a chance until now to make any posts. I have one "Mema" left now, for the first time since 1950 there isn't a Gray living on Gatewood avenue. She was 79, preceeded in death by her son and husband. A woman who's impact has forever changed the people around her, she will be sorely missed. May God rest her soul.

Ouch, not even he was able to make one ride during the olymipcs then...
Poor guy.

That wasn't his first practice run. He had several on the Whistler track before.

RIP victims of the Chilean Earthquake. 8.8 on the Richter Scale. Tsunami also headed for Japan, which also experienced an aftershock of this same earthquake. No reported deaths there yet, but keep them in your prayers.

Yeah, truly the best song writing drummer of my time.

Farewell, Grandpa.
After a harsh battle with Alzheimers, he passed away last night.

It seems my memories of him being able to even forumulate a sentence decently are already fading away...

And now an old, brittle parapalegic lady is living by herself. I wonder what my mom and her sisters are gonna do. And my mom hasn't even hinted that Grandpa died. I only learned because my dad told me.
She cried when our old cat died.

sorry to hear that my grand pa died with alzheimers also.

Sorry about your grandfather, dude.

Perhaps you should talk to her, she could use the support.

I don't think she's that type. My dad's more sensitive than she is, and he's the man. She's already shot my dad down.
She's been up since 3 a.m. when she was told to go to the hospital, so I figure she probably had her alone time then.

Farewell, Grandpa. For thou art with thine heavenly entities, betwixt the savior and lord themselves. Mayst thou forever bite thy thumb at Alzheimers. Whenst an army could not conquer thee, Alzheimers took the opportune'.

This should have been posted a long, long time ago.

RIP Mackenzie Cowell

Google it, I don't want to explain it.

RIP Phoebe Prince.

Should've been posted long ago also, but R.I.P. Fess Parker, huge role model for baby-boomers (as Davy Crockett) and an all-around nice guy, he was 85 and died of natural causes
