While we were on vacation at
Shakertown, we got horrible news. My uncle, (the kids' great uncle) Greg (
Clob), passed on. He was suffering from cancer and passed away Friday the 13
th of July. It was hard for me to try to enjoy the rest of our vacation, but I tried for the family and I know my uncle Greg would not have wanted me to end the vacation and just grieve. I called my family to be sure someone was with my Aunt Gail. I found out her 2 boys were with her so I felt I should stay. We did not tell the kids until after we got back. It was so hard for us to explain it to the kids. They just are so young and we were afraid they just wouldn't understand. Elijah took the news really hard. He cried and cried. Greg and Elijah played a game together called "the
Clob"...ever since then Greg was known as "
Clob." Clob was Elijah's best buddy. He was more like a grandfather to my kids then a great uncle. The Monday before he passed he gave Elijah his "Toy Story Woody" doll he had at the house to keep for good. Elijah has not let go of that Woody. Woody goes every where with us. Greg was
truly a blessing to our family and we will never forget him. He was a special, special man. We loved him so much!
