We Will Miss You Papa!

Jim Gurnow passed Saturday, May 14, 2011. Today was the funeral and we brought the kids. I didn't want them to go to the casket, but they both wanted to, especially Cameron. Cameron has had a lot of questions and I'm sure he will have more to come. Trevor just wanted to give him a kiss and said that he was sleeping. He kept asking why nana and mommy and daddy were sad. He was very sweet and they both behaved well! Jim was a very sweet man. My children could do no wrong in his eyes. He was a man that would be outside waiting for us in the pouring rain with a huge umbrella so no one got wet on the way in. He rocked both of my babies for years. He has been thrown up on more times than I can say (my kids both had horrible reflux), but it never bothered him! He took the kids on tractor rides, down to feed the chickens, watched them play, read them stories, told them stories, gave them lots of hugs and kisses, and treated them like his very own grandchildren. We were so lucky to have known him and for our kids' to have had him in their lives. He will be deeply missed!
