We knew the day was soon coming, but it always is hard and still a shock! Grandpa Mc 98 years young passed on December 21st 2013!! He died at Aaron's dad's house but had lived alone all the way up til three weeks prior. Crazy how well he had done at that age. He was a great man, that loved my kids and us to the fullest and all of the extended family. He had the memory of a collage student, which was so amazing to everyone! I could only wish to remember phone numbers, birthdays, and so much more at my age now!!! ;) He will be greatly missed by all.
When we got into Logan we drove straight to grandpas home. Family from outta town were staying there. It was so different and sad not having him there in his chair and the TV on sooo loud. (This house will be knocked down within 6 months. He sold it to the school next to him years ago and they were just waiting for him to go! ;((( ) We walked around and took some pictures of the home with so many memories.
Grandpa always sat on this porch when we would come and leave!
Inside the house one last time.
The basement!
Found this gem! The Mc family picture when Aaron was young. HA HA! Cracks me up. Tony was a paper cut out due to him being on his mission.
The obituary and the program! The funeral was great. The talks and the songs were great. Tony did a slide show that had lots of pictures of all the family with him. Lots of tears were shed of sadness and joy. It was a roller coaster of a day!
The graveside service was very cold but neat. It was a super fast one due to being so cold. We then headed back to the church for the luncheon. The ward was super sweet and spoiled us so much..it was yummy!
Our Kent Mc family!
Uncle Derek LOVED hanging with Crew. He played on the floor with him even. Ha!
Nate was being so silly and wanted some hair on his bald head. He used mine! :)
Todd wanted to be blonde on his bald head! He he!
HOTT!
We all went one last time to The ARTIC CIRCLE!!! Grandpa LOVED this place and LOVED all the workers too. The employees had a heart attack when 50+ of us walked in all at once, but mainly were getting ice cream they were ok. We took over the whole joint. They did call in three extra employee's to take care of us. It was soo much fun to sit around and chat all evening. We laughed we cried and pretty much said our goodbyes for now. Now that grandpa died I am sure we wont be seeing each other near as much, which is super sad. I LOVE all these people. They are such great cousins to Aaron but more importantly friends to me. I seriously LOVE this family! They are the best!!!!!
Right before we left, Crew took a spill on the floor. Everyone was so cute to him (employees and family) it made Crew feel much better.
We will miss Gpa Mc for sure but know he is super duper happy on the other side. Til we meet again!! LOVES!
