DeHaven men....

Matt's side of the family, the DeHaven's, reside in Virginia. They are some of the sweetest, kindest, most welcoming people I've ever met. Matt's grandad, Doug, was the most gracious, wonderful man and caretaker I knew. He spent his days caring for his wife, grandma Joan, whom we love to pieces, and being head of the house with all the chores and duties. We never heard him complain or whine about anything. He was just so sincere and heart bent on being the husband he was. Unfortunately, last May, we found out that he had stage 4 brain cancer and there wasn't much we could do. Talk about something that hit home, at that point not even a year had gone by since we lost Wendy. So, once we heard the news, we knew what was to come and come July, we lost him. It was all so quick and so sad. We love him so very much and miss him everyday!!

Matt's aunt Robin was kind enough to email this picture to me of Matt, his dad, Rick and his grandad. A picture that we will always cherish. R.I.P Grandad! We wish everyday that we could see you one last time and give you all the love you deserve!!
