Please Say a Prayer! I Love you Grandpa



If you can't tell who he is, he's the one with the kids sitting on his lap with the bald head! :)

"PaPa Rue" was taken to UVRMC by ambulance early this morning for Congestive Heart Failure My dad said he hasn't been out of been for a few days. I am guessing he might be going to the ICU, but I don't know. My Grandpa Rue is well known in Emery County. He grew up in Orangeville and he married Nellie Ann Olsen (yes, just like the name from Little House on the Prairie) He was a woodshop teacher and he taught drivers ed. In the summers he was always in the mountains. He LOVED showing the grandsons the mountains. He eventually got the opportunity to work in the District Office, that's where I remember him always working. He LOVED working with his wood. He made a nice woodshop out back and he had a special craft that not many people have! My grandma Nell died in Sept 1979 and Grandpa married Grandma Carol in the 80's (not sure of the date) I just know all the grandkids were there sitting on the fireplace. :) After Grandpa retired from the district office he got the chance to work on the school board.

When I got the phone call from my dad about grandpa about 3:30, it was something I was not expecting! So whoever is reading this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say a prayer for my grandma tha teverything will work out the way tthat it needs to work out.
