Roger Sundquist

This last week we met with lots of family under unfortunate circumstances.

Derek's Grandpa Roger had been suffering from (among other things) neuropathy for quite some time.  Recently, however, it had taken a toll on his lungs.  Tuesday morning he was rushed to the ER, then moved to ICU where he was able to breath only aided by an oxygen mask until all the family was able to gather.  After removing the oxygen mask, we were each able to say our goodbyes and be there to escort Roger out of this life and into the next. He was loved by many and would have had a wonderful reunion on the other side!  Grandpa suffered from a lot of pain and illness for most of his life and we're comforted to know that he is free from it now!

                                 

Most of the family was able to make it up here.

Derek was close to his Grandpa and will miss him.  We were fortunate enough to live nearby so Derek visited his Grandpa every week where they would talk golf :)
