This week we lost Rusty's grandpa "Papa" Earl Beck. We are headed to Colorado for the funeral and then on to Utah for a graveside service. Papa was such a sweet man, and I loved his sense of humor. I am so grateful my kids got to have not just amazing grandparents in their loves but 4 great grandparents as well. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Papa. With his love Audrey "Baum", married 58 years (I think if my math is right), and then this summer at Kaite's wedding, where they got to meet Brenner. And one of many, four generation pictures. I know I have some with Berk in them too, but I didn't have time to hunt for them.
And finally, I am most grateful that this sweet man sealed me to my hubby for Eternity. It will always be my favorite memory of Papa. Till we meet again!
