Early Monday morning, we lost a beloved family member, Azro Goodwin Rankin. He was a remarkable man. I was so blessed to become part of his family. He welcomed me into the family with open arms. Joseph's middle name was to honor him, Azro, and Samuel also has part of his name, Goodwin. The brief time that I knew him, he was always so kind and gentle. It didn't take long to for him to make anyone around him feel like they were important. He recognized God's divinity within us and was a man of faith. He always wore his wedding band, even after losing his wife, honoring the love that he carried with him till he left this mortal life. He always wore a smile and laughter was an essential part of his character. Even when we saw him at Christmas in the hospital, he eased the pain of us seeing him there by making us laugh. We love you grandpa and know that you are reunited with your wife. We will see you again one day. Thank you for your life and example.
