Today is Halloween ... usually a happy time for children. Unfortunately, today finds a dark cloud over our family. My daughter-in-law's father, Jim, has been taken to the hospital with an incurable condition. We're not sure if this could be his time of passing or not.

It simply breaks my heart knowing that his small grandchildren will never know the wonderful grandfather who loved them so much. Being only in his early 50's, this was so unexpected in the long-term scheme of things.

I am praying for strength for him and his wife Tony at this difficult time.
