This is for my cousins husband that passed away friday night about the same time that Christian was born...my cousin is more like a sister to me and my heart breaks for her, they live in Michigan...but about 10;30 friday night i called her to tell her about christian being born at 8;27...i was so over thrilled with joy but my heart soon was broken to hear that her husband of 25 yrs passed away from a heart attack the same time Christian was born...i cried all the way home...(the baby was born 80 miles from home and i was 40 miles away when i called her) he was a good man i played jokes on him all the time sent him stupid stuff thru the mail he was nervous around me LOL...well he said he was because he never knew what i was going to do or come up with,he just retired from Fords almost a yr ago at the age of 55 and was just enjoying retirement...he was 56 yrs old...my heart truly breaks for my cousin/sister so much...i wanted to fly up there and be with her during this time but she wants me to enjoy Christian...i have talked to her several times since friday night and i plan on flying to Mi for a couple of weeks in may...he was a good carpenter so i guess the Lord needed him to build things in heaven...please remember this family in your prayers...his 2 kids which are in their late 20's didnt have anything too do with him after his first divorce, but the step kids my cousins/sisters kids were always around...the step grandkids which he said  they were his , they really loved him especially the oldest grand-daughter whom is 16....she was the first grand-child he is survived by his wife Lee...6 kids (counting the  2 from his first marriage) and 5 grandsons and 2 grand-daughters...funeral service tuesday @ 10 am in Michigan..thanks everyone
