Grandpa Albin

Jesse's Grandpa Albin passed away this week.  He died on Monday and the wake was last night and the funeral today.  It was sad, but he was ready to go.  He has been battling CHF and a few other things, especially in recent years and the last few months have been especially hard on him and Adella, in and out of the hospital.  But he went peacefully at home.  Albin and Adella had 9 children, 23 grandchildren (plus most are married or have significant others), and like 50 some great grandchildren!!!  BIG family!  It was fun to see everyone, but sad it always is under such circumstances that EVERYONE gets together.  Grandpa Albin will be missed, especially in a couple weeks at the Mages Christmas.  But we are comforted by the fact he is in a better place, feeling no aches or pains or worries of the earthly world.
