Grandpa Stoehr

This past weekend I attended the funeral of my grandpa in Wisconsin. While it is never easy to say goodbye I'm grateful for my faith that I'll see my grandpa again. I'm grateful for a church that teaches families can be together forever and that this life is merely a preparatory state for us to learn, prove our faithfulness and return to live with our Father in Heaven.

My grandpa was an amazing man who lived a good life. The last few of which he was plagued with Alzheimer's. Now I have faith that he is healthy and his memory has returned as he prepares for the rest of us to live through our time here on earth.
It was great to see all of my family members whom I don't get to see nearly as often as I'd like. It was a wonderful celebration of the life of Aubrey Orson Steohr.

I love you grandpa!
