A sweet reunion is taking place in Heaven tonight. My Grandpa, Walter Hubbs passed away late this afternoon, just 10 days shy of his 94th birthday. No doubt all of Heaven, particularly my Grandma, his sweet bride of 68 years, is rejoicing! It thrills my heart to imagine them worshipping together at the feet of our Lord. You may remember, I shared their story last year.Since Grandma passed away in 2004, several of my Aunts and Uncles have taken in and cared for Grandpa. Most recently and for the longest, he's been with my Aunt Brenda and Uncle Zollie in Georgia. They have been such incredible caretakers during the most difficult stage of his illness. I am humbled and thank God for their sacrificial love & compassion.

sorry to hear about his passing, but yes! praise God that they're reunited! what a wonderful moment!
Tracy, I pray for sweet comfort for you and your family from the Lord at this time in having to temporarily say goodbye to your precious Grandpa. My Grandpa went to the Lord October of 2007 and Grandma April 1990. They too have had a sweet reunion with each other and at the feet of the LORD in worship so I'm so glad for your Grandparents and for my own although my heart and yours I'm sure, misses them for now...
God bless you and your family and may special favor fall upon Aunt Brend and Uncle Zollie for their special care of your Grandpa.
Blessings.
I know you will miss him, but think of the reunion with all of those who have gone before and know that you will see him again...and Grandma! Love, Carol
Ah...how precious...a sweet reunion in heaven I'm sure.
Praying for you. May you know His comfort at this time.
Love, prayers and hugs,

So sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. But, how wonderful that there are no doubts that he is heaven and with your grandma!
Praying for you all at this time.
Oh, how wonderful for those two but bittersweet for all of you on this side of heaven. May the God of all comfort wrap His mighty arms of love around you.
I'm sorry about your Grandpa. I'm sure heaven gained someone very special. What a sweet reunion he and you Grandma and others had.
Praying!

Big hugs to you today! I remember when my grandpa died back in 1982. I still miss him horribly. But what sweet memories I have of him and it sounds like your grandpa is one of those sweet types, too! :) Praying for you~

Oh Tracy,
I'm so sorry...
I know there will be one HUGE celebration going on up there.
You were so blessed with such great grand-parents!
Sending hugs♥
Awww, Tracy. It's such a difficult thing to 'lose' a beloved grandparent...and yet it's hard not to rejoice when you know exactly where they are! What a sweet reunion that will be!
((Hugs)) and prayers in your sorrow, friend.
Tracy, I'm so sorry for your loss but so happy for Heaven's gain and their sweet reunion! Prayers going up for your family and especially his wonderful caretakers.
I am so sorry for your loss... but what a blessing that you have had him in your life for some many years. I lost my last grandparents in 2003 and miss them terribly at some times... I imagine maybe mine where some of those welcoming your Grandpa into Glory...
Praying for you...
This was such a precious post! It is never easy for us here on earth to say goodbye but thankgoodness we live with the reassurance that we will one day reunite with them. May you find peace and comfort during this time. It is important to take time to grief!
What a beautiful tribute! Isn't it wonderful that in our sorrow we can rejoice. And we know that this is not the end! Heaven and earth are rejoicing! Yes, Well done good and faithful servant!
My deepest sympathies as you mourn the loss of your Grandpa. I lost my Grandpa and my Father-in-Law last year.
(((Hugs)))) and Prayers
I just saw your today's post Tracy so went back to this one; I'd missed it. I'm so sorry for your loss; yet, happy at the same time.*
PRAISE THE LORD for the party going on in heaven.
Caretakers are such wonderfully gifted people. God bless them! What a sweet and encouraging relationship your grandparents had! Such godly examples for us all!
