Prairie’s grandfather passed away this morning. He’d gone into the hospice last week (necessitating our trip down to Vancouver last weekend), and held on long enough to let all of the immediate family come by to say goodbye. We’ll be heading down to Vancouver again for the funeral this next week sometime once all the arrangements have been finalized.
