Thank God for Hospice. My Grandpa was in so much pain and they were able to help alleviate some of that pain with their care. They volunteers make such a difference in people's lives near the end.


My Grandparents were married on my birthday. I was 2 years old. Here is a picture of my grandpa and me in 1987.
