R.I.P Earl Osterhage...loving grandfather, father, and husband

As I have told some of you, it eases my pain to know that he died in his sleep, but never the less, the pain is still there just as strong.

I believe it was Shakespeare who wrote about how the soul becomes the most pure and shows it's true nature through the anguish and sorrow of the loss of a loved one.

I wish I was there to hold you and be with you.
Yours,
Will

I'm so sorry, Amanda. It's been 13 years now since the passing of my own grandfather and the feeling of loss remains. But your pain... know that it will become easier to deal with... in time. Take care.

Amanda I am so sorry. Do you know when the funeral and wake will be? I would like to be there. My grandpa Shrewsbury passed away in December. I know how hard times like these can be. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

The wake is Monday (Labor Day) starting at around 3pm and then the funeral is on Tues. at 10am. I won't be there for the funeral because i have to go head back to school around 5pm on Monday. :( Thank you, Laura, I can't wait to see you again. :)
