Grandpa Gordon

Last weekend (June 13) we made a trip up to Spanish Fork to see Chet's Grandpa, who has been in a care center for the last 2 years. He has Alzheimers and has been in the last stages of it for a few weeks now. So we wanted to see him and say goodbye before he passed away. We went to see him Friday and he was sleeping, we could not get him to wake up. Luckily we tried again on Sunday. Grandpa was alert and wanted us to stay. While he could not talk much he did like and responded when Cooper would give him kisses. We were glad that we made the trip because Wednesday morning we were informed that he passed away in his sleep. As Chet said, sometimes we make good decisions and going to see grandpa was one of them. Cooper will have good memories of visiting him and singing him some church hymns. We know that Grandpa is in a much happier place and has been reunited with Grandma. We love you Grandpa.

I'm so sorry. That's hard to lose a loved one. I'm so glad you got a chance to see him before he passed away.
