Grave dedication by Uncle Tim and graveside remarks by Bishop Grua.
All gathered round.
We love you, Dad.
"The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith means trust—trust in God's will, trust in His way of doing things, and trust in His timetable." Dallin H. Oaks
It was such a personable funeral, just like Jeff would want and I know he was there enjoying and holding on to each of you when you bravely stood up to share your message with us all. I know that as a parent that your greatest joy is found in seeing your children become beautiful and caring adults and parents. I just can't imagine how very proud your Mom and Dad were of you kids and also your Heavenly Father. I had to chuckle at Jeff's letter,,,You know he took a chance of letting Palmer have the last word. Palmer was laughing to himself afterwards because he was thinking about closing his prayer with AND BLESS THE LIBERALS'. Oh those naughty Black's Love your all Aunt Gail and Uncle Tim

ReplyDeleteI just have to say that the funeral was beautiful. I was there to support Andrea, but I came away learning so much about a wonderful man, father, grandfather, son, friend, etc. He will be missed!
ReplyDeleteI had a big bowl of popcorn that night and thought about all of you. You are in my prayers.
