" 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

.....and Grace will lead me home."

We found out today that Todd's uncle passed away.  A sad time for the family as they all grow older and each of them passes on.

He was the baby of 13 children. Twelve of which were girls. I am sure his upbringing was not easy in a house full of women!  But I am sure he made a good husband.  I would think he learned to put the toilet seat down and to get out of the bathroom fast and to respect women.  On the other hand....I rather envision him as the little devil in the household.  The pesky baby brother who teased them as they sat on the front porch with their dates and took their lipstick to put on the cat.  That sounds more like Jonny!! 

He liked to laugh and tease and get into trouble.  His wife was always keeping him in check with a sternness and a shake of the head.  He was a hard worker who owned his own trucking business.  A pillar of the community and willing to help as needed. 

He had just returned from a cruise with his wife.  He was outside working in the yard and had come inside because he had an appointment with his heart dr that afternoon.  He died of a heart attack while he washed his hands to leave.

He will be greatly missed.

In this time of sorrow, please keep his wife, June and their family in prayer.  Give peace to the remaining sisters and their family as they all deal with his passing.  And may God take Jon in his arms and guide him home.

May you rest in peace

"Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace."
