~Honoring Grandpa~

Uploaded: April 21, 2008

Description

My father-in-law passed away suddenly on April 10,2008. He was an American and Local hero. He served 2 tours in the Vietnam War as a Navy Seal. He also gave 30 years of his live to the Paxtang Fire Company, the same company my husband is currently Captain at. It was very tough to tell Victoria that Grandpa went into heaven, but she said" God is taking care of him and he is not sick anymore." What she said made us realize that he is in a happier place. He was buried with a military ang firefighters funeral, needless to say he had one hell of a send off!

Victoria is wearing his fire helmet and wrapped in the American flag.

Very sorry to hear about your husbands dad passing on Deb. Victoria's beauty shines through even when Mama makes her dirty for a picture. Nice what she said about her Grandpaw. God Bless You All, Bill #5817769
