Dave and I went down to St. George this last weekend to the funeral of Vern Ferguson, Dave's grandpa (Karen's Dad). It was a wonderful funeral. Grandpa was such a nice man. It was my pleasure to have known him. It was a very emotional weekend. The thoughts and idea that Grandpa is not with his wives (Donna, died about thirty years ago and he married Phyllis, who passed away January 2009) and also his siblings and our dear Karen. It was very nice to see Karen's siblings and their kids. Grandpa looked great, very peaceful. Grandpa was in the service when he was a young man. He said he "didn't want to miss the big show". They had the Veterans at the graveside to do the salute. Also, the folding of the flag. It was a very nice thing to experience. We are grateful to have met Grandpa. We know we will see him again!
I wonder what the "reunion" is like on the other side.
LOVE YOU GRANDPA!!!
It was SO wonderful to see Bill and Joan and their kids, as well as Janice and her kids. I just LOVE that we are able to see them (regardless of the circumstances). They are wonderful people and can't wait to see them again.

Man YOU KNOW the reunion's gonna be AWESOME. Man I bet it's one of the most beautiful things ever.
I CAN'T WAIT to see Dad. I know he'll be in the front running when I show up.
I'm excited.
Ok, I have tried to comment on your post 3 different times and have been interupted. Not that what I have to say is wonderful. Now, what was that? JK I went to my Aunts funeral a couple of weeks ago and felt the same way about seeing family. At the viewing before the funeral it was so loud because the family talking and getting to know each other again. I loved it. (holy moly that was a long comment for me)
I'm glad you had a nice trip AND.... WHAT? You're having a boy! I am so exicted for you! Where have I been? We need to get together!
I am so sorry for your loss! But I love that we have the gospel in our lives to help us through these times. And what a great way to celebrate someone's life by having family together. It's always a sad time, but a chance to see people you would not normally see. I love military tributes at funerals.
I know I am excited to see who will be at my "reunion" when I return home.
