Pop: Today in church we sang a song called "All Things New." What's really cool to me right now is that you are dancing, running, singing, and hearing...with your Savior and friends gone by. You have been made new.
You're talking to Moses on the structural fire issues that perplex the fire communities in the miracle of the burning bush. You're personally thanking whoever created the bagel. You're making a joke with Peter...he may or may not find it funny.
You taught us how to fish, how to camp, how to crab, and how to listen to the scanner and run out at a moment's notice so we could see a house fire.
Thanks for being the best grandpa a kid could have.
See you in His time,
Scotty

How glorous it must be to have your wonderful voice singing in the Heavenly Choir.
Thankyou for being such a joy to all the lives you touched.
I will forever remember your singing "Until Then" for me.
My favorite verse: "The things of earth will dim and lose their value, if we recall they're borrowed for a while. And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble remembered there will only bring a smile."
Until then we will go on singing, we will carry on with Joy, Until that day we see you again with our Lord. I know our Lord will continue to bless and keep Aunt Elma in his tender loving care.
