Clarence, Jared's dad, has alzheimers and has suffered for quite a few years from it. He passed away this morning and is finally at peace.
While we will miss that little man, I am glad that his suffering is over. We are fortunate that we have great memories of him. He was a good husband, father and grandfather. He LOVED his children and grandchildren more than anything. He always wanted to take care of everyone. He loved to be silly and make us laugh. He was a peacemaker, but he would stand up for what he believed.
I am glad to have known Clarence and am proud to have had him as my father-in-law.
It makes me smile to know of the havoc he is causing up in heaven.

Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. We love you.
I'm so sorry to hear this....I know you have mixed emotions. It's hard to let someone you know go, but when they have suffered, it's almost a relief. But not without feeling guilty. Our prayers are with you and your family. Let me know what I can do to help you...
XOXO
