Grandpa, we love you. Today was the funeral service. It was a wonderful service with humor, love, and tears. All of my uncles spoke and shared wonderful memories and doctrine with us. We used technology to skype Holly in from Switzerland. I was happy to help facilitate Holly being virtually present. I think a few people thought it was weird but it was nice being able to share the day with Holly. I hope that the audio / video quality was worth it for her. I know she wanted to be there and to participate, but it just wasn’t going to be possible. I hope that she felt involved enough. Holly is a wonderful sister and I feel sorry that she had to be so far away.
I want to replay the audio from the service. There was some great doctrine taught and I want to research it and understand it a bit better. I loved the story of Ezekiel and the dry bones. I had a double meaning to me because we used to always play that silly song at his house and then to hear it told as a story of the resurrection at his funeral was wonderful.
Anyway – enough rambling. My head hurts and I’m really tired. It has been a stressful and tiring day. I hope that Grandma is at peace and is comforted.
