A very sad day...

Rocky's grandpa Lamar passed away a few weeks ago, and I just had to document how special the day was. First of all a little background; Every year Rocky's grandparents gave them a balloon for how old they were, and in these balloons there was money. So every year the grandkids would be so excited to pop their balloons to see how much money was in them. I was so grateful that Tayton had this experience for his first birthday, it was so special! I loved the Pace grandparents (Barbra and Lamar) and I'm positive that Lamar had an amazing reunion with his dear wife! He was the hardest worker I had ever seen, clear up till the last weeks he was riding his four wheeler around on the farm turning water off and other duties that had to be done. Lamar you will be missed, but we know your happy and pain free:)
All the grand kids and great grand kids had a balloon with a special message to their grandpa. It was so precious! Here Tayt is not wanting to let go of his balloon

Another neat thing they did was took his casket to the cemetery on the tractor. I'm sure Lamar loved that final ride on his tractor. Here are all the grand kids/great grand kids on the tractor. Tayt is on the front right row, wanting down as usual.







I'm not a big picture taker at funerals, in fact I have never done it but I just thought this was so special and neat that I had to document it.
