I will always treasure the memories of my grandpa; picking blueberries in the garden, him stoking the wood stove, him mowing the lawn as I sat over the back of the couch and watches out the window. I love him and was glad I got to see him and say goodbye before he left us.

Today we laid to rest the greatest man I have ever met, my dad. I will miss him everyday for the rest of my life. Sometimes with tears and sometimes with laughter. I am truly grateful and honored to call him dad and to have had such a wonderful relationship with him.
