In Loving Memory
Heaven has received another angel. My father in-law passed away this past Sunday at 1:20 p.m., surrounded by his loving family, and passed away peacefully in his sleep.
We were all there with him before he went to sleep, and were able to tell him we love him dearly and to be sure to “swing ‘em straight and stay out of the cat box”. Popo (pronounced Pop-O) wrote his final words on a piece of paper before passing away, “Love ya’ll always, Popo”, and I will cherish that forever.
His online obituary is available for those who would like to read it, as my husband requested I not post it in it’s entirety here. I am posting one of Popo’s favorite songs, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, that will be played during his service tomorrow.
Popo, we miss you already, but we know you are in God’s loving hands now and are having a grand ol’ time playing golf with Mamo again. Until we see you again, we love you dearly.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. It really sounds like it was a peaceful, love-filled passing. I will keep ya’ll in my thoughts and prayers.
Very sorry to hear of his passing, but I’m so glad you were able to be there with your father in-law to the end. I hope that will be of some comfort to you and your family in the trying days ahead.
My condolences to your family.
Again, condolences from Canada…
What a blessing to share and feel the love right up to the end. Keep those beautiful memories in your heart forever.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. We were blessed to be with him up till the very end, and be able to say everything we wanted to say. I’m very thankful for that.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Lin,
My thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
Hi Lin,
I’m sorry for your loss. I’m listening to the Vince Gill song right now as I type this, and thinking that spending eternity playing golf in heaven is definitely how I’d like to picture the afterlife. I hope that when my time to leave comes, I’m blessed with such a loving and supportive family as your Popo.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Popo was a dear, sweet man who was always kind and loving towards me even though I only knew him for seven years.
I hold onto the memories of our time together, and the funny/silly things he would say and do. He always would play the game where he’d pretend something was on your shirt collar and when he got you to look down, he’d lightly tap you on your nose in fun.
His loss is a great one, but we are coping the best we can by our memories, and there are many.
I have been away for a couple of days and I was shocked to read your news this morning. My condolences to your entire family.
Thank you Arnold, we were all pretty surprised when it did happen. I mean, we knew it was coming, we just didn’t expect it was going to happen when it did. We are glad he went so peacefully, without pain or suffering in any way.
I am just catching up with my blogs and just saw this.. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know my family send our condolences to your family. Many hugs and prayers for you.
Thank you Kim. We’re doing as best we can be expected, and thank you for the prayers.
My condolences, Lin. I lost my own FIL in 2003. We were closer than I thought.
Thanks RT. It’s been hard but we’re dealing with it. Everytime my husband’s cell phone starts ringing, we momentarily think it’s “Popo” calling. sigh…
