Dad's last week

I took a bunch of pictures of Dad and family while I was visiting him in January and happened to be his last week here on earth.




Here is Shirley and her daughter Clara with Grandpa and Bonnie.

Le and Andrew

Dad and Andrew

Dad's residence at Harold & Verla's for the last 7 years.

Dad's smile

Dad's hands.

My friend advised me to take this picture and I'm glad I did. I could pick those hands out among a hundred sets of hands. Those are the hands that served in so many ways for 97 years.

Dad's Funeral

Dad's funeral was held on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. Here is a copy of the program. Many people commented about what a lovely funeral it was. Lee Farnsworth, our neighbor across the street told me it was the best funeral he had ever been to because it laid out the plan of salvation from beginning to end. All the speakers were excellent and I felt privileged to give the Life Sketch at the beginning of the program. I believe it was a great celebration on both sides of the veil. We love you Dad.
