A very sad day.

These are from just a few days ago. They made each other so happy.


Today Arnold Graham Heard passed away. He was 82 and surrounded by his family. His last hours were filled with funny stories and laughter. It was truly a good way to go. Unfortunately, he was sick for quite some time. We are very sad to see him go. I have never been so proud of Baby J's name. This is their first few moments together. Baby J is named John Arnold. Blue and Grandpa had an exceptional bond. He absolutely adored her and she the same. Blue could never get enough of him and was constantly wanting to be near him.


Grandma and Grandpa are such a beautiful testament to what true love really means.




D I know that this is so heart wrenching, but I know that your dad has given you so much of his spirit that he will live on forever, plus you can always look at your little ones. They have your dad's ears! =)










Arnold responded and opened his eyes when Blue was brought up. It shows how much he really loved her so much. She managed to get this video message done for him shortly before he died. I played it in his ear.






D this is just for you from Blue. She understands that she has angel up in heaven just for her. She wanted you to have this message.







Rest In Peace Arnold. We will always love and forever be changed by you.

Arnold Heard was an exceptional man and leaves a legacy that would make any man proud.

He was one of the strongest men we ever knew. And a smile that brightened the room.

We thank God that he is at peace and watching over the family as usual.
