Taking time to smell the roses


Whilst Lincoln was really taking time to smell the roses, we did that in a not so literal sense. We enjoyed celebrating my Grandpa Maurice Heninger's life. It was a beautiful and meaningful time where we got to reunite with family.

Lincoln giving his great grandpa one more hug before he was lowered.


It's a dark pic, but this is Lincolc, Ella and I by the casket.

All eleven of the children made it out to Mom's Dad's funeral. So this pic is ALL of us- Jennefer, Josh, Jessica, Jordan, Emily, Rebecca, Rachel, me, Julie, Jeremiah, and Jacob. PHEW! What a mouthful! The few extras in the pic are relatively local nieces and nephews of mine and a brother-in-law, Jim.

So sorry for your loss. Funeral are never an exciting ocassion, but what a beautiful time to spend with family and close friends. Don't you wish we were able to spend more time with all of our family in one place??

It's wonderful how a family so big can get together as often and for such important occasions. I'm sorry he passed away, he was a very sweet man!

G-pa Maurice was one great man. Wish I could have been there for ya'll. It sounds like it was a really wonderful tribute to him. Neat that you could all be there!
