Grandpa Ralph's Funeral






Saturday, Sept. 6,2008 - Scipio, Utah
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon we gathered for the funeral of our Grandpa Ralph. We are so grateful for having all our family attend and honor the life of a wonderful man. All the grandsons sang, O My Father and I Need Thee Every Hour, two of dad's favorite hymns.
Special memories were shared by children and grandchildren. We laughed at the crazy memories and the tender thoughts brought tears to our eyes. He was a man who loved people of all ages. He loved his family dearly. He loved hunting and fishing. He loved to run races. He loved my mother and missed her every day since her passing. We love you dad.

Dee, what a great blog. Your children seem so content and happy and what beautiful grandchildren you have. I loved your dad and miss him too. He and your mother were my second parents. Thank you for the opportunity to share in the funeral with your family. One of my great pleasures was 20 years ago this month when he ordained me a high priest. Every time I look at my line of authority, he is there to remind me of his "churchy" moment. We hope to see you in China. Don't move too soon. Love, Kevin
