WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA PEAY




Grandpa Peay will truly be missed around here. After him falling on Monday and hitting his head pretty hard the doctors did all they could do for him. He was in surgery for 4 hours with the doctor trying to stop all of the bleeding in his brain but they just couldn't fix him. They put him on life support and called all the grand kids to come in and say good bye and turn off all of the machines. But grandpa did want to stop fighting he kept breathing on his own until about 7:30 Tuesday night when his brain just couldn't keep his body working any longer Grandpa finally slipped away.
Grandpa loved his grand kids and especially his great grand kids he would always set them on his lap when they were babies and sing all these funny songs to them that would just make them laugh and giggle. His favorite thing to do with any of his grand kids was to go horse back riding I think we all have our own special memories of horse back riding with grandpa. I can't believe he had his last horse back ride just this Saturday and now he is gone. I will always remember his sing and telling stories and the way he would always make everyone feel loved even strangers he would meet any where. He was always talking to everybody whether he new them or not.
The last memory I have of grandpa is giving him a ride home from church on Sunday because grandma had gone home not feeling well but grandpa had stayed because he was just fine. He said he could walk but I said "No we can give you a ride." When we got to his house he said he was sorry we had to go so far out of our way to take him home. I said oh yes grandpa driving down the street is so far away, and then he said good buy and I said see you soon grandpa. But little did I know the next time I would see him would be on life support. We love you grandpa and you will be greatly missed!!!

That made me cry! I'm so sorry for your loss Monica. My heart goes out to you and your entire family at this time. It looks like he must have had more important work to do elsewhere!

Oh Monica, I am so sorry.
It is not easy losing someone who you love. I am praying for you all.

My sister in law lost her Mom a couple years ago and she told me the other day that she knows the spirit world is her on earth. We may not be able to see them, but they are here with us daily. Our angels protecting us and guiding us. Occasionaly we are so close to the spirit that we can actually feel them. I know your grandpa is still here with you and will help guide and protect you and your family.
