My grandparents Shirl and Barbara Kemp
They are actually my step-grandparents, if you want to get technical. But honestly they took me and my brother's into their family (full of grandkids already) like we'd been there all the time.
They both passed away from Cancer this year. Grandma in January and Grandpa in June. I take comfort that they were not separated for long. They were together for 62 years! And I know that they have found a place with our Father in Heaven and His son Jesus Christ.
Grandpa was born during the depression. He was a WWII Vet. he worked aboard a Submarine, the USS Sea Robin. He met grandma on a blind date, that mind you she didn't want to go on. She was quite capable of getting her own dates, she told her friend (which is true grandma was a pretty girl!) but from that night on they only had eyes for each other. They had a family of 4 boys, my step-dad being the 2nd eldest.
They were such a good example to me of how to be kind, giving, and hard working. I love them and will miss them dearly.
