This morning we got the news, Grandpa Neagle has passed on.
We have had cold and cloudy days this past week but today the sun is Shinning, its a Beautiful day.
I think it's Grandpa's way of letting us know,
"He Arrived Safely and All is Well!"
I HATE Dislike the fact we are so far away from Family in such a Time. I hope you know we LOVE You and are Thinking and Praying for you all!
Some of our "Favorite Memories" of Grandpa and Grandpa Neagle:
*We will never forget our "Business Trip" out to California just us and Grandpa and Grandma..
*Going to Arizona seeing Grandpa in Action making For Sale Signs, and getting a tour of his beautiful Land he was selling, then going to lunch sitting in a booth eating yummy food and Dreaming together.
*Grandpa taking Heath to buy a Suit when he finished his Masters Degree.
* Heath remembers how fun it was when Grandpa brought Chickens and Ducks to the farm.
*Grandpa brought over a Machine to make grass Juice.
*When I was laying flat in bed with my back Grandpa sent several bottle of "The Best" Vitamins.
He Always had a Magic pill that would be sure to Cure us.

*Grandpa had some of the Greatest Catch Phrases...Superflumgobeous,
and thank you Mommy Dear (to Grandma)).
* Going Camping with Grandpa and Grandma
*Heath could Always count on a lil' Gas $ from Grandpa when he was young.
*All the Wonderful Christmas's we were able to spend together.
*(I'm Not sure but I think Heath might have been Grandpa's Favorite...) Grandpa would always Lite up when Heath would arrive. These two had a Special Connection. Every so often when Heath is on the phone I can Hear Grandpa Neagle coming through loud and clear.
(Thank You Kind Sir.)
(Thank You Kind Sir.)
They both have such a way of building people up and helping them feel Loved and Important.
*I am Very Thankful for the Love and Support Grandma and Grandpa gave Heath helping Create the Wonderful Man he is Today!
We LOVE You.. and are looking forward to "Oak Creek" to all be Together!

I am really sorry. I know from very recent personal experience how hard it is to loose someone that means so much to you. But isn't it wonderful to have so many happy memories of him? Grandparents are oh so very special. My heart goes out to you and they rest of your family. Just know we love you!
I know how much you guys loved him and Heath does have a resemblence. What a cute man! You know if you decide to hop in the car and come out, you can stay through the month of December and we could party every day for the Holiday! We would have the most awesome sleepovers all down stairs. Just saying.
Sorry to hear about Grandpa Naegle! What a nice man! I never noticed how much Health and him look like each other until that picture. Good lookin fellow's! Sending XOXO's and prayers your way!
Sorry, meant to say Heath, not health :)
oh for sure he sent some sun your way to celebrate it all. so sorry, loved hearing all the cute memories...
Thanks for this great post Kelly! I was over at the house today when grandma got your flowers and she was overcome with the live she felt from you guys! What a sweet lady. Heath was for sure the favorite!! Even when grandpa couldn't recognize us he always knew who Heath was. I'm so glad they had that connection. Love and miss you guys!! Can't wait to see you in oak creek!!
Love! Not live;)
Aren't we glad we have the gospel in our lives to bring us such peace. My love to you all.
Won't heaven be just "heavenly" when we can be with the ones we love. Not old or sick or far away, but just together in the warmth we all long for. I think Heath is probably more like his grandpa than any of us know. I have always felt such love as you have talked about him. I am glad you have for tree up tonight and you are cuddled up together watching the Christmas Fireside. Millie invited me out to visit, do you think I could come yesterday? I love the WONDERFUL THOMPSONS!
Amen! I didn't have as much time with him as others did, but some of his comments to grandma and all of his gratitude for the lovely meal before him. I know his is so grateful for his family!
