We felt blessed to be in town when Gerald's Uncle Bill's funeral was scheduled. This morning we went to the funeral and it was a very nice service. We were able to see and visit with some extended family members and we learned and remembered many wonderful things about Uncle Bill, such as:
- his great sense of humor
- his love for rocks and history
- his amazing scouting collection
- his love for the prophet Joseph Smith
- what a great uncle, husband, father, grandfather and brother he was
In the evening, we visited our old neighborhood. It wasn't so hard this time to see our beloved home; we have definitely adjusted to our move now. But it was wonderful to see all our old friends and neighbors. Almost the entire cul-de-sac gathered for a neighborhood barbecue and fireworks. We had a blast playing and visiting with friends. It's great to have so many life-long friends that we keep in touch with and enjoy. I was bummed that I never did get a picture that night of most of our friends, but Katelee and I did take these silly pictures after enjoying the yummy food!
Happy 4th of July!
