Memorial Day!


Memorial Day growing up was memorable. Mom and dad would make sure the flowers were purchased so we could leave them on the grave's of loved ones. When I was younger, there were only a few graves we would visit, but now that I am older, the number of graves have increased...a lot!

The picture above is of my beautiful Grandma Dean! She passed away on Friday and I will be coming to Utah for her funeral Wednesday. I am going to miss her!!

Memorial Day is also a day where I reflect on the courageous men and women who have fought for my freedom! I think of their families and the sacrifice they have gone through so that you and I can enjoy a peaceful life...THANK YOU!!

Thank you for visiting her as often as you could. You are such a sweetie and your girls are such blessing.

This is a precious picture. I don't have very many of her smiling at this stage of her illness. Priceless.
