All of the family had been sitting with him the entire day.
I got the chance to hold my grandpa's hand while he was sleeping peacefully in his hospital bed.
It was a tender moment and I am so thankful I was there with him.
Yesterday I spent the day up in Layton with my grandma and my aunts.
We helped Grandma plan the funeral yesterday.I never knew how much effort and work (and talk about MONEY) goes into
planning a funeral. We started off the morning by helping grandma write the obituary.
Next we planned the funeral service.
Then off to the mortuary we went.
We discussed all of the plans from the coffin (which grandpa had already bought and paid for)
to the program, to the flowers.
It was another tough day, but I think it's finally starting to sink in more and more.
My grandma asked ME if I would speak at the funeral service.
I have NEVER spoken at a funeral before and I am slightly nervous about it.
I hope I can make grandpa proud by what I say.
Have you ever spoken at a funeral? Any suggestions?!

I can tell that you love your grandpa very much, so I know that you will let your heart and the Spirit guide you and your talk will be a lovely reflection of what you felt for your grandpa.
