Tender Mercies

It has been a very emotional week filled with tender mercies for our Heavenly Father. Garry passed away on Wednesday the 31st of March 2010. He has suffered so long and been such a strong person, never complaining. We are so happy that he can be well and feel good, speak, run, and not be in pain. We will really miss him! Through the whole experience this week we have been blessed to feel the spirit and be so comforted. I am so thankful for the wonderful knowledge we have and for the blessings of eternal families. Stacy and Dalan got to spend the day with Garry and Verna on Tuesday, and they feel real blessed to have had that experience. Funeral details have taken place in Rigby and Rexburg and we have been there everyday meeting with family. Stacy family is awesome and we have had an enjoyable time being together and talking and relating memories of Grandpa and Grandma. The viewing is Sunday evening and the funeral Monday morning at 11:00. It is also Conference week-end and Easter. It also was a blizzard here today and highway 32 and 33 were closed. I am so glad the funeral was not today. I hope the weather is better on Monday.  Next week will be so busy, Monday funeral, Tuesday Dalan has a orthodontic appointment in Rexburg, Wed. we have Dr. apt in Pocky for Bailey, Dalan's birthday is Friday and his farewell in on Sunday. WOW! Then we will leave on Tuesday for Provo to the MTC. We have been so busy we have not had time to think of him leaving. It is a blessing that Dalan gets to say his goodbyes to Grandpa before he leaves. We are thankful for that. He has had many spiritual blessing through out this last week that will really prepare him well for his mission. I know Grandpa is really proud of him!
