To let you know what has been going on

I know it's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened in the last week and a half. But it really started a week earlier.

On December 28, Dad M fell while in the living room. We aren't completely sure about what happened, but we do know he fell and hit his head hard. Very hard. So hard that it cause a massive concussion from which he never recovered. On January 9, 2013, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by family in the NCCU at IMC in Murray, Utah. It was peaceful and devastating. We have no words to fully express our deep love and gratitude to the staff who cared for Dad during this time. They were all wonderful.

The funeral was on Saturday.

We love you, Dad. We will miss you, but we joy in the knowledge that this life is not the end. We will see you again. And we look forward to that day.
