In Memory

A. C. Warner,

My grandfather passed away Saturday, June 30th. My grandmother asked me to draw something representative of his life—books, music, God, and medicine. All the more fitting to post on the Fourth because he also loved his country.

    1. Thanks, Alan. And it is! He owned his own medical practice for 27 years (and worked in the hospital/clinic before and after), and was an active member of his church community.

    1. Thank you, Ellen. Much appreciated. Originally this (the illustration, the ‘ku was my own doing for me, myself, and I) was meant to be on the cover of the church bulletin at the funeral service, though my grandmother was told they don’t do those anymore.

  4. Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through Your mercy, rest in peace, Amen.

  6. Hey, Aubrie, so sad with you about your grandfather. I thought it was so cool that your grandmother would ask you to draw something…a cool way of honoring him (and her).

    remembrance
    for those with no stone
    memory rock hard in the heart

    I pray all your memories are lovely and gentle and kind…. I didn’t know what to say to your post that would hold what I felt…. till I came across a photo a fellow in New Zealand posted called “Remembrance”… All that’s ever left is love, but if there’s love it is all.

    Sorry Aubrey. No way through sorrow but straight. Peace to you and yours.
