What an amazing feeling of happiness a new baby brings. We had the joy of hearing of the arrival of our new niece, Emme Ruth on Tuesday. We look forward to meeting her, and watching her grow, in love, happiness and surrounded by family.
But today, my heart grows heavy, when I found that I have to say goodbye to my Opa. He passed away early this afternoon, in his sleep. Though it's incredibly sad, I feel peace. He's no longer sick. He's no longer lost feeling so dependent on others, when he's always been such a strong an independent man. He no longer has to miss my Oma every day and night since she passed away a few months ago. He can go now, to be with her. Though we'll miss him immensely, we'll be happy remembering all the great memories we shared, the example that he was, and what a long an amazing life he lived.
We love and will miss you Opa, and Oma!

I am so sorry for your Opa, and Oma too. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
We are keeping you guys in our thoughts... lovely to have the saddness tempered with the happiness of a new baby....
