I am sorry I have not updated sooner. The blog site was down and our family has been quite busy.
My Uncle James passed away from this earthly world and went home to be with his Jesus late Thursday night.
It was, in these last days, what we were expecting. However, expected is not any way to describe the last few weeks. We expected to plan Thanksgiving with James bringing the chocolate cream pies he always makes himself. We expected to have the rubber snake for our annual white elephant gift exchange from Uncle James. We expected to play cards on New Years Eve with his family and take pictures of most of us all falling asleep way too early. No, we did not expect this at all.
But we know that our All-Knowing God did expect this. He knew it all along. He knew the days of James life before one of them came to be. And, we are grateful for the memories and the days that we were able to spend with him. He will be greatly missed here. James’ sweet son Zander said it best when he said he bet his daddy was up playing cards with his Grandma Gamel. I bet he is.

We all hold your family up with prayer during this painful time.
God knew that you were not aware that James was going to be called home, so He gave you a little extra time to say goodbye.
Blessings....and all our love
