I've received a ton of email and comments below on my announcement of my father-in-law's passing. Many thanks to you all, and particularly those directed towards the Littlest Scholar. Mrs. Scholar's parents live five blocks away; my father and mother live in New England and we don't see them as often. LS was as close to grandpa as any of his own children; they were constant cribbage players at family gatherings. She has a wonderful faith and believes Grandpa will wait for her in Heaven. She's always been a source of joy for us; now she's a source of comfort and a reminder of our faith in the Great Reunion.

UPDATE: This was her grandpa.
