Dancing with Great Grandpa

Treasured Moments

Jayda and her Great Grandpa enjoying a dance.  Treasured every moment with him, he was amazing and taught us a lot of about our history and lessons learned in his life.  He will be greatly missed but treasure the hope that we will see him again, in all his youthful vigor.

So thankful for the time we had.
