With third-hand information I learned that Pap•Pap was not doing well and had been having a difficult night. I decided to wait until the next morning to find out how things were with him, As fate would have it, my cell phone showed me the next morning that my filth. had called with what turned out to be the bad news I hoped would not come, Pap-Pap had died that morning. This was not completely an unexpected event, but it was more sudden than 1 had anticipated,
Nanny and Pap•Pap had been planning for months to make what would 1.1y be a final visit to Colorado to spend the holidays with the whole Stoehr family, Nanny was going to fly out while Sherri and Ed were to drive back from Florida toting Pap-Pap with them, Only a few weeks prior to everyone's departure Pap-Pap came dzme, with a respiratory infection and M numerous s numeus doctors had recommended he not
