On October 22nd Gary W. Brunies passed away from congestive heart failure. He will be and is greatly missed. We had his funeral at Our Lady of the Isle Catholic church the following Monday and said our goodbyes. Though he's gone he lives in spirit as we can't quit telling his funny stories and laughing about the fun times we all shared. I am incredibly saddened because he will not be around to see his grandson Michael be born into the world. I'm sure Michael would have loved to listen to his paw paw tell stories about his childhood. I managed to write and delivery a eulogy that truely did him no justice. He is and was such a great person and it does not seem fair to have him leave us so soon at the age of 57.
While I have been here, we have taken the kids out for halloween (i'll post pics later), a surprise baby shower was thrown (pics later) for Kassi and I, and on November 4th 2008, Kassi's daughter Morgan Rae was born into the world at 7:48 pm weighing in at 9lbs and .8oz stretching out at 21 inches long (pics later as well).
Plenty of tears have been shed this trip and just as much as they were sad, they were happy as well. It is unfortunate that Mr. Gary could not be here to share it all with us.
