Goblin Valley

This place is not to far from Green River, Utah so a group of us went out there on Friday, March 14th.

The funeral & burial

Both services were wonderful. It's nice to here how people feel about your dad. Having the grandchildren & great grandchildren sing Families can be together forever was so great. Thanks to the Relief Societies in Green River and Longmont for the yummy luncheons. Instead of being sad, we decided to celebrate his life with memories and some of his favorite things in Green River. We had Dad's chili along with his favorite dessert, vanilla ice cream with nuts and chocolate. We then shared memories and then danced to "shout" and Mony, Mony" 2 dances dad always requested at dances. It was quite the site. We thought the floor might give way. Thanks to Pat & Kathy for all the did for dad and all they did to get the service together. Also thanks to Kathy's sister and Keith & Kristi. Love you all.

The burial service in Longmont was great. There were some great memories shared by their friends in Longmont. A few people from Arvada come up also. the American Legion did a great job on the Military honors. They did the 21 gun salute, they did what is called echo taps. That was so cool and they folded the flag and presented it mom. There was new snow on the ground to make the place beautiful, yet not to cold. Thanks Susan for all you did to get that put together. Bob & Pat you would have really liked it. It was fitting that he was buried on St. Patrick's Day.

Great legacy

Mom and her 5 kids

What a great man.
We will miss you.

In Loving Memory of my dad, Charles P. Brady

My dad passed away at about 6:10 am on March 7, 2008 just 5 days short of his 86th birthday. He was a great man and we sure will miss him. I'm glad that I lived within 30 minutes of them my whole married life with the exception of the last 4 years. At times we even lived with them and believe it or not we all enjoyed it. I'm glad that Devin got to really know his grandfather. They had some good times together. Dad was always willing to try new things even in his older years. He really did love his wife and children but he also loved serving the Lord. Thanks dad for all you did for me and the rest of the family. We will miss you.

Poems by Devin

IDENTITIY
Devin is my name
Drifting in a world of open space
Looking, listening, living in time
Never know where it will land
Or if it will hit the floor and spring again
Moving around from state to state
Surviving and making new and good friends
A new year you think will last
Just for the word to fall apart


DREAMS
Sleeping in an endless world
Of things that may never go wrong
Floating on a cloud or being the hero
Getting the girl or beating the boss
Whatever the cause you bring the effect
Whatever the problem you bring the solution
Having dreams of reality and
Knowing the reality of your dreams


LOVE
Lost in the word of good and best
Faith to hold and a crush in time
Stop in a second time is still
When looking in the eyes of
The thing you Treasure most
Living and loving everyday

I think he has some real talent. What do you all think?

Greetings

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope you get to celebrate this holiday the way you want. Love you all.
