Hi there - I bring this to you not expecting a single thing and doubting there is anything that could be done on such short notice. My grandfather passed away last weekend.  He fell ill on Christmas Eve and decided to go the hospital Christmas Day with pneumonia.  (This was the only time he has been hospitalized in my lifetime with the exception of having a knee replacement surgery.)  We removed him from the ventilator on Saturday to allow him to pass in order to honor his will of not being kept alive on machines for a single day longer than there was any hope of his recovery to full health.  (His reason was so not to cause strain on his family nor to "bleed Medicare."  This in my opinion is such a selfless act of Patriotism.)  My grandfather served his entire adult life in the military, the Navy during WW2 and a long list of military career following.  I believe he retired for the second time as Chief Warrant Officer in the National Guard.  He was a great great but humble man, served and loved his country his whole life.  He also served as the foundation and example for the only boy in our family, my little brother James who now serves in the Army 160th Special Operations of Aviation Regiment out of Fort Campbell who will be leaving for his 8th tour in Afghanistan in February.  My grandfather was a humble man and did not want to be honored at his service, however he also lived to serve and care for his wife of 64 years who needs all of the strength and support possible right now.  So the National Guard will be coming after all.  Finally my brother James is the only man left in our family who in a sense will be filling in for my granddad tomorrow and those are very big shoes to fill.  He also needs as much support as he can get to remain strong.  Anyhow, I don't know if you happen to have any members of the PGR who live in Denton or might be available, but if you did we would be so grateful for your support tomorrow.  (My granddad also rode a motorcycle and loved it! So I find you all so kindred to him and his beliefs.)  There will be no funeral procession from the chapel so I'm not even sure what could be done but if you have any thoughts you can share, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much just for your time.  Stephanie Howard
