Gramps Funeral


This was definately an intersting week for Jake and I. The viewing for grandpa was on Wednesday and the funeral was on Thursday. Jake and JJ put together a slide show of gramps life to show everyone which took them a couple days so they didnt work all week. I think it was a great opportunity for them to be able to reflect on his life and also to honor grandpa and what a wonderful man he was. The funeral turned out great. It was a little longer than everyone had planned but that is just because there was so many great stories to tell about him that the speakers could just talk for ever. It was awesome to us to see how many people grandpa affected during his lifetime. He was an honorable man and you could see that so many people loved him. He was one of those people that may die physically but the memories and the impact he left us with will keep him living forever. We miss him but are so happy we were blessed to know grandpa and to have had him in our lives.
