a wedding and 2 funerals

Long story that I don't feel like sharing but I just want to make a quick mention of........we went to Arizona last weekend for my cousin Melissa's wedding.

Our grandpa ended up passing away the day of the wedding. It was a difficult weekend but we are so happy for Melissa and David and we are very sad to loose our gramps who we loved so much!!

He was an amaznig man and will be greatly missed. We're so glad to know that he is with our grandma now and that we will see him someday. Lindsay, Nicole, and I are going to be sharing "Memories of Grandpa" at the funeral on Friday and so we've been thinking a lot about what a great man he was and all the memories we have together.


Here is the link to his obituary: http://ads.heraldextra.com/articles/2010/01/12/obituaries/353426.txt

We also had a death on my dad's side of the family. The day after my Grandpa Schaefer passed, my dad's uncle/grandma's brother died. He was also a great man too!

Yeah I heard about it from my mom. What a sad story. So hard to mix a happy occasion with that. I'm really sorry for your lose. I'm sure that was difficult, but how grateful we are for the plan of salvation.
