Grandpa Hinkle

My Grandpa died last night. He was a wonderful man with a good heart, a hard work ethic, always spoke with a gentle tone, had a great belly chuckle and was the best bear-hugger. I'll miss him but I firmly believe I'll be able to see him again once this life is over and get one of those famous Grandpa Hinkle hugs again.

I'm so sorry for your loss Annie. How wonderful and peaceful it is to know that it is temporary. He can probably be with you more now than he could before. Sometimes I feel my Gramie is so close. I hope your heart and home are filled with love and peace. Part of him and his greatness lives on in you. =) Hugs and prayers my friend.
