Grandpa Votaw


While on vacation, Jason's grandfather passed away. Jason ended up flying from Norfolk, VA to K.C. on Thursday morning to attend both the visitation and his funeral. I will most remember his great sense of humor and his love for his grandchildren. It was especially hard for Jason to lose this amazing man in his life, but Jason holds close the knowledge that this was a man who served the Lord. If your a Christian, you know how powerful a statement that is.
