Jennifer,
The night you text me and told me that your father had passed away my heart stopped because everyone had told me how close you and your father were. I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t want to believe it. I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there’s anything I can do just let me know even if it’s a hug I’ll be there for you. I hope God brings you peace during this time.

Dear Grimm Family,
We are sorry to hear of the passing of Blair. If I sat here and wrote down all the memories of Blair, I could write a book. In his "younger" years, he was a barrel of laughs , he spent a lot of time at our house and we did think of him as a brother. Time and growing up separates us, but memories never do. He is indeed going to be missed by all. I know he is in heaven and probably hanging out with Thomas.
We pray to you the Peace that passes all understanding.
Sincerely,
Corbett Drumheller
Marylouise Drumheller Harlow

Blair, I'm so glad I got to reconnect with you and I'm so sorry to hear of your passing... All I keep thinking about is your saying that the cancer wasn't gonna beat you because you wanted to bounce grandbabies on your knee! I'm sure there are lots of lil babies up in heaven with you (including one of my own and two grandbabies) who need bouncing :-) and maybe God needed you there just for that job! You were a warm, loving man and you will be missed by many... My thoughts and heartfelt prayers go out to your family.... Leigh, I hope to see you at the memorial next week... Take care and God Bless and Keep you.
