A Time to Mourn

On November 9th at 8:17 in the evening, my Po Po (grandfather), Robert A. Traina, stepped into eternity.  Sam and I had come back to the States a week ago to be with him and the family.  We are thankful for the week we had and the chance to say goodbye.  Here are my numb thoughts as he is now worshipping the God he has loved his whole life.

So passes Robert Angelo Traina, child of God, son, brother, husband, daddy, Po Po and Great Po Po.  He was a studier, an author, a teacher, a dean, a friend, a lover of scripture, a role model, a patriarch.  He was humble, quick to laugh, deep voiced and loving.  We, his family, had the great privilege of walking with him in this life.  Thank you Jesus, for the precious 89 years he was here.  Now he is truly home.

love,
Laurie
