Sad news.

After we went to CA this last weekend to see MA's Grandparents, we learned Monday morning that he passed away earlier that morning on the way to the hospital.  He was in a lot of pain, and I'm very glad that we were there since we were able to help him during his last few days. 

It's obviously with mixed emotions that these experiences come to us.  Grateful that he is no longer in pain and suffering; the last three weeks were exceptionally difficult.  However, we will mourn his departure as we no longer will have his pleasant influence among us. 

We also mourn our Nona's (MA's Grandma - Nona is Grandma in Italian) loss, as she will be alone after some very good years. 

He was a great man, and I wish that you could have met him. 

We'll be in CA later this week for the funeral on Friday.
