In Memory of Papa
Today, after a very long and difficult battle with cancer, my grandfather Jose "Papa" Prida passed. As he passed he was surrounded by the people who loved him most, and is now resting in a much better place. I am very sad that he is no longer with us, but relived in knowing that he is no longer suffering. Papa was a great man. His life was an inspiration. He loved his children, grandchildren, the Altanta Braves, but most of all my grandmother, Mama. Even today, the saddest of days, this photo still warms my heart. It was taken 58 years ago on their wedding day. It describes their life together perfectly- happy, beautiful, and in love. This photo inspires me in my own work. It is just a small glimpse into the happy life they shared.
Please keep my family in your thoughts as we endure this difficult time.

Lindsi, I'm so sorry to hear this news. My grandparents are two of my best friends, so I can imagine how difficult it must be for you.
Lindsi this was very touching..our papa was a great man!
Lindsi,
I so sorry to hear that. The loss of my grandparents hurts every day, but it is that pain that reminds me of how wonderful they were. Try to let it be the same for you. Remember it hurts so much because he is so special.
I am very sorry for your loss Lindsi. Those are wonderful photos of him. I adore the wedding photo!
