We will miss our Great Grandpa!

Grandpa Wendell passed away yesterday morning after a courageous battle with cancer- Wendell has been such a great part of all of our lives and the cutest Grandpa to our kids. We will never forget him and the many wonderful memories! Never forgetting our kids B-Days, trips to the Flaming Gorge cabin, trips on the boat, swimming in the pool, playing games, hearing his wonderful, contageous laugh, eating his meat pies and seeing him at the State Fair, watching the way he loved life and always had a smile! We love you Grandpa Wen!

Last night Mikelle went to bed very sad and had been crying most of the night -- We talked about how grateful we are that we had him in our lives and that he is happy and in a good place. It was time for her prayers and I listened to her as she prayed one of the sweetest prayers I have ever heard! She said, "Dear, dear, dear, dear Heavenly Father......please bless Grandpa Wendell because he is a new member up there today, but I know you know that. Please help him feel happy and welcome, and thank you that we could know him and love him." It was so sweet and really taught me a lot as well! How grateful I am for being a wife and mom and getting to hear and witness the sweet times in life that can help make hard times a little easier to bear.
