I just realized that these pictures are going to be in reverse order from the end of the weekend to the beginning, but oh well... too late now. We had a long weekend filled with family time (very comforting). Family from Florida, Indiana and Ohio came in for the weekend. We spent a lot of time together, visiting and reflecting and sharing memories. Cousin Jeremy shared the message during the funeral on Saturday and did a very nice job. It was awesome to sit and listen to him describe his grandfather in such a knowing way. Great Grandpa was a great, Christian man who has lots of family and awesome stories from the people who love him the most. He is surely celebrating in Heaven right now! :)
One thing that we want Allie to know is that He loved it when she came with Grammie to visit. He would light up and get the biggest smile. He loved it when she was around. She was a highlight to his day and he remembered her. It was a special little bond. ;) He liked to tease her and try to get her to laugh and respond to him. We called him Double G for her. When we paid our last respect and said good bye for the last time, we told Allie that Double G was in Heaven with Jesus. She said Jesus's name and then said "bye bye" and waved to him. Later in the weekend when we mentioned his name again, she waved bye bye and then said Jesus. Almost like she understood to some small degree what we were trying to teach her.
Here are a few of the pictures I took.
