Grandpa Stoneking is with Jesus

So it's been quite the day...I recieved a call this morning that my Grandpa was being taken to the Emergency Room in Winchester, KY because he was 'non-responsive'. About three hours later they called to let me know he had passed. My Mom and Dad just arrived back in Congo yesterday, and after many tears today, they are buying their tickets to head back to KY. The funeral will be in Nicholasville, KY on Saturday July 12th, 2008.
This is the first time death has hit me in such a rough way. My whole 29 years I have been close to my Grandpa...I don't know how to process death. Just pray for us as we pack up with a newborn and make the 10 hour trek to KY. Pray for my Mom and Dad as they fly back across the ocean. And pray for my Grandma...Mom is going to tell her when she sees her this weekend. Pray for all of us.
Hopefully soon I can post a blog with more light hearted news...and pictures.
Micah and Anna continue to bless us and keep us on our toes. And CONGRATS to Adam and Mindy on their little boy, Noah!!!!!!!!!! The sorrow of death makes us appreciate even more the birth of new life!!!!
