Duane always had a joke to tell, or a story. He was so proud of the accomplishments of Justin and Andrew and did everything he could to be at their activities. He was a wonderful guy and having to be a single parent after his lovely wife, Jena passed suddenly was an inspiration to me.
Prayers to you, Justin, Andrew and your onery grandpa as well as the rest of the family as you have to live on memories now. May God wrap his arms around you and give you peace knowing your daddy is now with your momma again, and they are where we all are looking forward to that day, when we meet Jesus. I am so sorry and will continue to pray for you all!
