Barb, Brandon and family, Many thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.🕊 Hold tight to all the wonderful memories. Ive been sharing memories with Blythe & Callum the past few days to help with their healing. Some from prior to them joining our family and silly Tall grandpa stories from when they were very young. It was nice to reminisce with them. 🤍

Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
