Last Saturday we went and said "We Love You" goodbyes to Jared's Grandpa Standage. We knew it wouldn't be long before he left us to return home to Heavenly Father and tonight was the night. Although I've only known him for the six years since Jared and I were married, I love him and am so grateful for the example he was to us. Jared and I were blessed to have Grandpa Standage marry us in the Mesa Temple. I know he will always hold a special place in our hearts for that.
Recently Grandpa's health has been deteriorating so he hasn't gotten out much but whenever we had a chance to see him if you said, "It's good to see you Grandpa!" he would reply, "It's good to be seen!" It always made me laugh.
I am so grateful for the pictures that I have of him. This first one is one of my favorites because Grandpa looks so happy in it!
This picture will always be special to me. This is a picture at Kyson's baby blessing with all eight Grandparents and all four grandparents. It was such a special thing to have them all there to support us.
Jared's Grandpa Standage is the first grandparent on either side of our family to pass away. We will all miss him very much. He leaves behind a great legacy and has blessed the lives of so many! We love you Grandpa!
