... and a funeral

As most of you know Grandpa Taylor (or as he's known to Mysia, Pawpa) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer this summer. He had been slowly getting worse and worse over the last couple of months but on Wednesday, January 2,2008 Vicki called us and said he was failing fast and they didn't expect him to make it through the night, so we stopped by on our way to church to see him. It was really hard to see him like that but we spent a few minutes talking to him and Matt sang to him. the only response we saw was it looked like he was crying as Matt sang "Suppertime". About 1 in the morning we got the call that he had passed. Matt and I took the next two days off to be a support for the family. It was a very busy weekend for us. The visitation was Friday evening and the funeral was Saturday morning. It was a beautiful funeral, there were lots of flowers from the many lives he had touched and Matt, Ben, Sam, and Abigail sang several of his favorite songs. They did a wonderful job. We will all miss Grandpa very much.
