Losing Someone Special

Once again this year, we have lost someone special. Ryan's grandfather, Richard Clayton, passed away on Wednesday, October 12th. Grandpa Clayton was such a kind spirit, always warm and welcoming. He made me feel right at home from the first day I met him. It breaks me heart to see the Kamermayer/Clayton family lose such a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. :( His service will be held on Monday, October 17th, 2011. Ryan is in the process of flying back to the states so that he can attend the funeral and be with his family. He is taking his 15 day leave early (it was supposed to occur around Thanksgiving). I am so glad I get to see him sooner than I thought, but so sad it is under these circumstances. :( The family I married into is absolutely amazing and I could not have asked for anything or anyone better. I do know that Grandpa Clayton is up in heaven, now a guardian angel to his wonderful family.
