My Grandfather, William Manning, passed away late last night. He had been battling with COPD & CHF for many years and was diagnosed with a brain lesion (unconfirmed cancer) a few weeks ago that left him with the symptoms of a stroke. He had been struggling to breathe for so long and it just finally got to be too much for him. Although I will miss him terribly, I have many great memories of him from throughout my life. I don't ever remember a time he wasn't a part of my life, even before we lived in Indiana. When we lived in Florida he wrote me letters, and then once he got a computer he wrote me emails and we chatted on AIM. I will never forget all the chats we had on AIM. He was always watching out for me...harrassing my boyfriends :) He loved his family and he grandchildren so much and I know he knew how much we all loved him.
