Robert A Sachse 11/14/1927 - 8/16/2010 R.I.P.

On more of sad note, my grandpa (my mom's dad) passed away on Monday of this week. It was pretty sudden. He was riding his bike down at the harbor (like he did everyday) and fell and broke his hip. He was rushed to the VA Hospital and then he started experiencing heart failure and had to be put on life support. His kidney's started to shut down a couple days later. The doctors said he probably would not live without being on life support and he passed away a few days later. In a way it is almost better that he didn't have to live for weeks or months on life support. His quality of life up to this point was pretty good and the last thing he did was what he loved doing...riding his bike. The timing is kind of crazy since we have a trip already booked to go down and visit them in California in November. It will still be good to go down and visit my grandma, and have family around her during this time. Just wish we could have gone down sooner so Colin could have a chance to meet him.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
-1 Thessalonians 4:17-18
