Grandpa Lewis's Burial



My Grandpa passed away November 2nd, 2009. He was diagnosed with skin cancer. He had a short battle with it. He turned 80 on October 24th. We were fortunate to be able to go to the funeral and the burial. The funeral was on Friday and all the grand kids were there. Then the burial was on Monday. My Grandpa is buried in Fort Logan Cemetery. He was a veteran and was given full military honors for his burial. I have included some of the pictures of the burial. Jason was a pall bearer. My Grandma was given the flag that was draped on my grandpa's casket. It was one of the most amazing things to see. My Grandpa loved this country and fought in the Korean War. I am grateful for his service and his example. We will miss you so much Grandpa and look forward to the time when we will see you again. We love you Grandpa.


This is a picture of all the Great-Grandkids. Eight in total.

There is something about a military funeral that is so beautiful. The uniforms and flags. I think they are grand and I'm glad your grandfather could be honored in such a grand way. Logan is so cute in carson's bed. I love my pictures of my little ones in bed with their siblings when they are so little. What a fun girls night. GNO are the best. Love ya!
