The passing of a great man

Two weeks ago Bret's grandfather Coulson Parley Parrish passed away. It was a very sad day to see such a great man leave us but he left behind a great legacy. I was privileged to know him and name my son after him. Our lives will never be the same.
His funeral was this past Wednesday and was beautiful. A great tribute was paid to him by all whose lives he touched.

When Bret and I found out that his health was starting to fail quickly we made a quick trip that very same weekend to go and see him so that he could see Aly for the first time. I am so glad we did - he passed away three days later. We sure will miss you Grampi.

Opa also got to see his granddaughter for the first time.
