Remebering DAD






August 29th is both a happy and a sad day! Ali was born seven years ago at UVRMC what a blessed -day. August 29th 2004 at the same hospital UVRMC my Dad passed away - leaving a hole in our family. I will never forget my bothers lifting my father onto the bed his old truck - no Hurst for him - His old tractor driven by a grandson leading the way and the old truck taking my Dad to a place where he could finally rest. His whole life he worked and worked hard. I am sad for my little Will that he won't have all the tractor rides, black candy, garden trips, and hugs and kisses. I'm sure that Grandpa Stubbs checks in on us often. I'm sure that he is building on heck of a home for our family in heaven. I appreciate the gift of life and death and the promise we have from our Father in Heaven that if we live right that one day we can all be together again. Thanks Dad for everything - until we meet again.

I'm sorry for your loss. Isn't it wonderful to have the knowledge of the Gospel and to know he's watching over you and your family?! How perfect that he was carried in the truck bed... No one will EVER forget THAT!

I never got much of a chance to get to know grandpa stubbs. But I am sure glad I went to his viewing, and that he played a part in helping me find the best husband ever.
