Grandpa Decker

Eddie's grandfather passed this week.  He was a dynamic man loved by all.  He cared deeply for his family and instilled in us the kinds of things that eveyone hopes to pass on to their future generations.  We all value hard work, adventure, Christ as savior, good food, and family above all. 

Ed and I were fortunate to get to go to Kerrville for the funeral (everyone, even all of his grandchildren, made it) and it was one of the most powerful sermons centered around Christ I have ever heard.  Friar Stockton talked about Grandpa in celebration terms.  His passing into eternity and the assurance of the banqueting table with Christ is truly something to celebrate.  Though he will be missed, we will continue to tell his stories, and picture him resting with Jesus.
