This year has not been a great year for my family. Tonight around 7:00 PM my grandfather Macbeth passed away peacefully in his sleep. Uncle Dennis called and asked me to inform the rest of the family. My uncles and their wives are over taking care of the immediate needs. I feel so sorry for my Grandmother. She has lost a daughter and a husband within the last three months. It has got to be extremely difficult for her.
We will certainly miss Grandpa Macbeth. He was such a model of humility and kindness. He was very soft spoken, but a man of action. His service and generosity knew no bounds. I only remember one time when he was angry and raised his voice. He was a hard blue collar worker that provided for his family and community. His service and compassion wont soon be forgotten by anyone that knew him. His funeral will be filled with people whose life he has touched and left better.
Grandpa, I love you and will miss you.
