Much love

I rarely like to do shout outs, but I feel compelled to share my feelings.  (the purpose of my blog.)

A good friend of my grandfathers passed away this week; a man I have known all my life.  He lived a full happy life.  He was able to tell some great stories about my grandfather.  Apparently, it was my grandfather who helped him joined the church (back in the day.)  He was a stubborn man.  I have thought the world of him.  Something about the way he lead his life and was an amazing example inspired me.  He lead his life to the best of his ability and loved all.  He was a straight-forward kind of person.  He had a zest for life.  I will miss Ralph K. Ingram.

I loved that man... He and Bro Smith were like "pseudo" grandfathers. :)

One of the reasons I went to the funeral was because of you Rachel- I knew you would want to be there. It was a wonderful funeral.
