For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17 NKJV
Grandpa's funeral service was held on August 23rd in Veteran, AB. All of his family were there with the exception of Marvin (Jodie's husband) & Jason, Jacob and Jenna (Julie's family). Wednesday evening we spent all together with the family and attended a viewing of Grandpa before his service the following day. A very nice service was held for Grandpa, one that he would have appreciated. Then we really enjoyed having most of the family here for the following weekend where we could reminisce about stories and share in the laughter and tears with each other. I really appreciated how the Letniak family came together at a time like this and made everyone feel a part in the preparation of Grandpa's funeral. I am very lucky to be part of a family like this one! Once again, far too many pictures to post so I created a smile box of the time we have spent together in the past 5 days.
