Goodbye, Grandpa Lemley

This past Monday, we got the sad news that Grandpa Lemley had suffered a devastating stoke and would probably not live much longer. This was sad and sort of shocking news since Grandpa was doing fairly well lately. As soon as Mommy was finished working on Monday, we headed to the hospital to see Grandpa one last time and to say our goodbyes. 

 Adam and Tessa were very sad to hear the news about Grandpa. They both have loved spending time with him since he moved to Utah this summer. Before we left the hospital, Adam and Tessa both said their goodbye's and gave him one last hug. Adam had a rough time with this. He has such a tender little heart and spirit. Ma was glad to be there to comfort him (while she was giving other family members updates). 
Grandpa passed away the next evening. Ma, Pa, and Uncle Ben were with him when he passed. Even though we knew it was coming, it was still hard to hear he was gone. It's weird to think that all of my grandparents are now gone. My grandparents have always been such important people in my life. I miss them. But we are so thankful to have the gospel and the knowledge that we will see them again someday.
