Grandpa Gray's Funeral










Thanksgiving day we got the sad news that Grandpa Gray had past away. It was a sad time for the family but a great testimony builder as we had a chance to apply our faith.
The funeral was beautiful and a we were all so happy for the chance we had to celebrate his life together the day before the funeral. The boys enjoyed flying airplanes of Dixie rock and playing at the park with cousins.
The children had many questions and comments throughout the services. Here are just a few.
Jaron will miss Great-Grandpa Gray because he "was his greatest grandpa supporter."  He always came to things that were important.
Bryson wanted to know if he would be our grandpa after the resurrection.
Eldon was really proud that he carries his name as well as the name of Grandpa's father. Eldon was also concerned that we would not be able to find his grave again since the rock wasn't on it yet. 
Landon wrote to Great-Grandma in her sympathy card that he knew she was sad, and he loved her.

 

We are all grateful for the example grandpa set.  He was such an honest man.  He loved education and he too care of his physical body.  These are legacies that we hope to be able to continue.
