I honestly hesitate to write about such an influential and wonderful human being he is/was, because I am not naturally elegant with my words, nor could probably every fully portray the feelings I have about such a wonderful man.
My Grandpa was the one of the most selfless people I've ever known, coupled with hard working, and even had a great sense of humor. I have many great memories of him and what kind of person he was during his life, and I have prayed to God that I'll never forget that.
The funeral in NV this past weekend was beautifully done, and even though there were many tears in the congregation, it was a wonderful celebration of his life, and knowing that one day we will be reunited with him again through God's love and mercy and through Christ's Atonement.
I am so happy for him to be reunited with his wife, and many other family and friends who have gone before him. I envision him walking freely with no pain nor ailments with a big smile on his face and that brings me happiness and peace. All those who knew him were touched by his example of how to be a man, a father, a husband, and a productive citizen. I look forward to the day when I can see him again in his perfect state, and with open arms says, "Welcome home, my favorite grandchild." (ok, I had to pull a funny somewhere)
Me and Grandpa
Him in the middle. He was SO handsome! My Grandma did well.
The physical representation and reminder that my Grandparents are now reunited.
What a beautiful thing.
