Pa

My Pa (my mom's dad) passed away on June 8 at the age of 87 after a very short illness. We loved him so very much. He was the best pa and great grandpa! Here's some of my favorite pictures of Pa with my boys:





































These words are from our family:
"Our family has been so encouraged and comforted during this season of grief through your many acts of kindness. We thank you for your love and compassion. Everyone in our family rises up in honor of Walter Goodall. He was a prince of a man. He will be missed but his influence in our lives is strong. Your many expressions of kindness during his illness and sympathy in his passing warm our hearts and lift our spirits. Thank you so very much."

"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they will rest from their labor and their works will follow them." Revelation 14:13

"Those that walk uprightly enter into peace; they will find rest as they lie in death." Isaiah 57:2

These were the flowers we grandchildren gave to Pa. There's playing cards, ping pong balls, and a basketball in the arrangement. The card says "Pa, thank you for always finding time to play with us."
Love you, Pa!
