Dad's Funeral

On March 24th, 2018, my dad passed away.  He fought a good fight and lived a great life.

Dad's funeral was beautiful.  All five of us kids gave a part of his life sketch, then the grandkids and great grandkids sang Families can be together forever.  After that, Chip, Charlie and Josh, gave talks on what Gramps taught them.  After that, Bliss Roberts spoke.  Then Gerry Graves sang Well Done, thou good and faithful servant.  The bishop gave a few remarks and then we closed by singing Love at Home.  There is a recording of it on Goff Mortuary's website.

Chad at Goff Mortuary offered us his new hearse to use, it was a beauty.  Dad took his last ride in style.  I'm sure he was pleased!

There was a military salute

Us again.

After the cemetery, we went back to the church for a delicious ham, cheesy potatoes, rolls, salads and desserts.  They had decorated it so cute using the kites the kids had made as centerpieces.

I brought some helium balloons so the kids could write messages to dad.

Then we went outside of the church and sent them off.

                                                         

It was a beautiful funeral for a wonderful man!

I'll miss you every day dad!
