Just a note to let you know that my Dad passed away yesterday afternoon.
He was at home surrounded by all of us kids and we were all able to say goodbye it was very peaceful.
We have had the most beautiful few weeks here with the family just spending time and organizing business close out operations. We spent last week shipping out over 20 semi loads of harvest equipment and tires for an auction that will be held on September 15. Dad and I were able to make most of the arrangements while he was still able to get around and communicate a week and a half ago. There were over 30 volunteers who came to help last week and sort inventory and load it. On Thursday Dad took a turn for the worse and there was standing room only in his room as we sang, cried and shared stories. It was an incredible experience and I have learned so much about my Dad in the past few weeks. Everyday has been filled with hosting the friends that have stopped by and dinners for 10-20 people. I have been working (and Paul) 14-15 hours a day for the past two weeks and we are physically and emotionally exhausted but are so glad that we are here.
