On Friday, April 22, 2011 my grandfather went home to Jesus. He is also with my father and my other grandparents. I know they had a wonderful reunion and we will once again be together never to be seperated again. Our family has experienced a lot of death and it is comforting to know this is not the end and that our family will once again be reunited.
At the dress rehearsal for my wedding.

Two verses and a song have been in my heart a lot lately.
When I was younger I listened to Audio Adrenaline and they have an awesome song that I think of at times of losing a loved one. I want this song sung at my funeral.....below is a link.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
1 Corinthians 15:50-57
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[a]
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[b]
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
