Paul's dad, Roger, went home to be with the Lord on October 5. He was 93 and ready to join his wife Nora and his parents Robert and Susie Casey. He came down with pneumonia in August and just couldn't regain his strength. 
Both Christie and Tessa - granddaughters who now live on opposite coasts, were able to come home and spend some time with him this fall. It was a special time for them and God worked it out in just the right time. 
Paul planned and led his memorial service on Oct. 17 at Waterbrooke. It was a celebration ... or as Paul put it, a "graduation!" We will miss him, especially when playing dominos. He left a wonderful family that I am blessed to be a part of.
On Tuesday night, Oct. 4, we gathered at Mark's home on Lake Minnetonka for a boat ride and time of sharing as a family, not knowing that Roger would leave this world the next day.
You're never too old to enjoy the swing!
Jon brought over his dog and everyone wanted a picture with him. He's really cute.
I think Anna would keep him if she could.
It was a beautiful ride around the lake - summer's last hurrah.
Beautiful girls - three of the six granddaughters of Roger and Nora Casey.
Yes, I was there, too. Sometimes I take all the pictures and don't remember to have someone take on of me!
Elaine is one of the family now - Roger's angel. She was a wonderful companion to him these last five years. 
Hopefully the family will carry on in the path that Roger and Nora laid out for them - one of faith, trusting in the Lord, and living lives based on His Word and ways. Thank you, Lord, for a godly father and mother.
