My Grandpa Bryce passed away March 28, 2011. He was a wonderful grandpa and I am so happy he is now with my grandma. She passed away almost 8 years ago. I know that when he was reunited with her that was a moment we can only imagine. The funeral was April 1, 2011 in Minkcreek Idaho. It was a wonderful funeral. There were lots of tears but not from sadness but joy in remembering our grandparents. I was asked to speak with 3 of the grand-daughters. I was grateful to be able to talk about the memories of my grandpa with the help of my siblings. We each had a memory we wanted to share and they all had a theme in them. Our grandparents made each of us feel like we were the special one. They were always teaching us lessons and showing how to be great examples of Christ. I am grateful for everything my grandparents taught me. I will miss them but look forward to the time I will be able to see them again. I am grateful for my parents who have taught me what it means to be a member of the chruch and my hope is that I am not diappointing them. I am grateful for the atonement and the chance we have to remember what the true meaning of Easter is. I am grateful for the sacrifice that Christ made for me so that I can return to live with my Heavenly Father again and also be with my family forever. I am grateful for my temple marriage that promises me that if I live my life the way Christ did that I can be with my family forever. I love my family and all that I learn from each one of them.
