The Funeral


What a treat, seeing Darin's 97 year old granmother... Imagine the wisdom she must have.
Georgia, an example of her beauty and grace througout the whole service.
David and Georgia's oldes son. This hat was placed on his head by David's colleagues in a moving ceremony.

Cousins

While we were on our trip, right after Ava broke her leg, we received a call from Darin's Dad that his cousin David Allred had passed away. His battle with cancer had finally ended leaving his wife and three kids. As we felt for their family it made us hold ours a little tighter and appreciate the time we had that much more. We were so grateful for the opportunity to attend the funeral. We ended our trip early and headed back to Cedar City for the funeral. I haven't been to a lot of funerals, but I may say this one was so beautiful. It was such a wonderful celebration of his life. His example was such an inspiration to me. His wife Georgia handled everything with such grace. I'm sure I would be a puddle....

I love that quote about cancer or any life threatening illness. It is so true.
