Grandpa


So I know this is a little belated but I just wanted to put up a quick post about Grandpa Norton. On Saturday, July 12th my dad called and said he passed away (my mom's dad). He has been sick for a long time but this was completely unexpected. So, Monday morning the kids and I drove down for the funeral on Wednesday. The service was beautiful and what a tribute the a man of faith, honor, and love. Grandpa was such an amazing person and will be missed by all. However, he isn't in pain anymore and we are so grateful for the Plan of Salvation the gospel provides and the opportunity we have to see him again. If you don't mind, keep Grandma in your prayers, she is learning to adjust. I love this man so much and know that he is in a better place doing the Lord's work. I am so grateful for his and Grandma's example of what true love really is. I pray my grandchildren will be able to say the same. Thanks Grandpa for your many examples, love and support.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. He was such a neat man. I will never forget how welcome him and your grandma made me feel when I was around all the time. Hope everyone is doing. Give your mom a hug for me.
