Returned Home

My beloved Grandpa returned home to the love of his life Friday night. I will always remember him as a soft spoken man who loved his wife more than anything in the world. They had a marriage that everyone dreams of having. Whenever you saw them together they were sitting by each other holding hands. He had a great smile and funny bumps on his arms that I thought were fascinating as a child. In listening to him tell stories of his college days it sounds like he was a ladies man with a great sense of humor and loved to have fun. I will miss him dearly but know that my Grandma is so happy to have him back with her.




JD's best friends Mom passed away in her sleep Thursday night. She was one of a kind and so much fun to be around. Whenever you were around her there was always laughter and her smile was contagious. She knew how to make you feel welcome and loved. She idolized her son Jeremy and always talked about how he was going to become the prophet. Her smile, laughter and unexpected comments will be missed.
