I know this is going to be a real shock to most of you, but we know God has always been in control of Grant's life and ministry. Friday evening, May 11th at 11:09 pm Grant had a cardiac arrest and the angels escorted his spirit to his heavenly home. He is now without pain, he is healed and now with his Heavenly Father. He will be missed sorely!!!!
