My Grandfather

My uncle, me and my grandfather
Shortly after 8 p.m. on February 2, 2009 my grandfather passed away.  My grandmother and grandfather were married for over 60 years.  They raised five children together.  In 2005, they buried a daughter who lost her battle with ALS.  Together they have 9 grandchildren and 2 step-grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. 
A few days before my grandparents were to be married, they were in a serious car accident.  Their wedding almost didn't happen.  Their family almost didn't happen.  My grandma has her faced bandaged in her wedding pictures.
My grandfather served in World War II alongside all of his brothers. 
All five of them returned home alive. 
They each have a purple heart.
Please pray for my grandmother for I fear she may not be able to live without him.
