It was very sad to hear about Perry’s dad passing. I am glad we had a chance to bring Jodi up to see him a few days before his final moments. I often told Jodi that her grampa reminded me a lot of my grampa, he had that way to put a smile on your face and was always great with all the kids. I remember the time we spent with him just this past summer at Henry’s birthday party. It was such a delight. I know for awhile he has been hoping to go home and join his wife and even though we will miss him, I know at least now he is free from all the pain and hurt this world brings. I am praying for the family during this difficult time; especially his kids. I want to remind everyone that we never truly lose someone while alive unless we forget them, Mr. Mansell to me was that kind of person that everyone will remember for the rest of their life. Everyone I met that knew him loved him. <3
