Shea - I am very sorry for your loss. I know it is hard being farther away, but know that your Mom is only a TXT message away. Please keep telling your boys the stories about their Grandpa Mike. You can keep his memory alive by telling them stories of when you were growing up with Gramma Crappy and Grampa Mike. You will always be his little girl! Scott - I am so glad that you were with your Dad! If you could choose one person to spend your last few days with, who would it be? It's hard to see right now, but I pray that in the future you will be able to find comfort and be honored by the knowledge that your father CHOSE you!
