On the 4th we lost Uncle-Grandpa Bud at the age of 84. We both flew to Salt Lake City, Utah for a very short but full two days. We went to the 1st Cemetary in Salt Lake City, Utah and found many family members tombstones. We spent nearly 4 hours there, really!
Then we went to the Hilton Head Hotel, in Draper, Utah. We stayed with cousins. What a wonderful visit and fun time we had in the Austin, Texas room ;.)
We attended the funeral for Grandpa Bud and saw many family members. That is the best part of attending funerals all of the family and friends you can be with.
In returning I learned that Granma Benevides was very ill and passed away at the age of 84. They had a private funeral and will celebrate her life in May.
Next we celebrated our 37th year in marriage and loved our time together.
We returned to learn that two of our friends passed away. Brother Jon Dimter of liver cancer and Bishop Phillip Lammi of a brain bleed. The fourth in one month.
The girls and I attended Bishop Lammi's funeral. Where we connected with many friends from Fremont that had moved away. Also to see 12 of the 14 children of the Lammi's. Two of their children had passed on LeeAnn at the age of six and Neil at the age of 40 due to brain cancer.
It is very hard to have our loved ones move forward onto the next life with our Heavenly Father. It is a wonderful testimony to us of life continuing on for eternity.
