Families are Forever


Dave's dad passed away Friday Nov. 13th. We are so sad to have him leave us but are greatful for the knowledge that we can see him again. He had prostate cancer and then multiple myeloma. He seemed to be doing well and then got sick and couldn't fight off the flu. He went into a coma and that is when we went to visit him. He never came out of it and it was hard to see him there in the hospital but we are so glad that we got to see him and say our goodbyes. We are grateful for his great example and love. There were so many people that came to his funeral and it was good to see all the people that he knew and helped. We are grateful that we could be there eventhough our kids didn't understand what was going on. Grandpa was a great man and are grateful that he could come down when our kids were born and blessed and other fun day trips. We met grandma and grandpa at the temple sometimes and were able to have picnics and ice cream trips. I know Siena always enjoyed them. We love him and hope our kids will remember all the good visits we had with him. We were able to have a big family reunion this past summer with everyone there and we had a great time. We love you Grandpa.

We were so sorry to hear about Dave's dad and wish we could've come to the funeral. Glad you were all able to have some time together at the Outer Banks!
