We'll Miss You Greatly, Grandpa

Well, it happened again. We lost yet another wonderful, loving grandparent last night. Grandpa Snellink went to his eternal home late last night with the whole Hosford/Snellink family right there with him. He was truly an amazing man, with more love to give than one would think possible. Please, please keep my Grandma in your prayers, for she lost her very best friend and husband of almost 60 years. It was almost harder to see the pain in her eyes as she watched him than to see Grandpa go.

Grandpa died from a combination of factors, and to make a long story short, he was exceptionally sick from pnemonia in both lungs, infection, and free air in the abdomen from a perforated bowell. He was kept on life support until Uncle Jim made his way from Indianapolis, and then went very, very peacfully. Although this was very unexpected, we feel blessed that he went as peacefully as he did, and his family Doctor called today stating that his Cancer was actually spreading, so he would not be around much longer anyway. On a positive not, Grandpa does not have to go through anymore Chemotherapy/Radiation therapy, which he absolutely despised. Please keep the Hosford's and Snellink's in your thoughts and prayers, and once again, please pray for Grandma Snellink's comfort through the hardest time in her life.

We will miss you so much, Grandpa. As I have said before, we love you tremendously, and we would not be the people we are today if it weren't for you. We'll see you again someday. God Bless.
