Well, this is the Second Grandparent I've lost this year.. My sweet Grandpa Gardner, my mom's dad past away on
Aug 27. He was an angel on earth! The sweetest Man you'd ever known. Here's some pictures of the
viewing,
funeral, and the
grave site. Honestly it was the most touching grave site ceremony I've ever been to. Because my Grandpa served in the
Air Force, they had representatives come to the funeral and conduct a special flag and salute in honor of his
service in the war. They presented my grandma with a flag in his honor. I could hardly take pictures my eyes were filling with
tears, it was very touching and I was proud of my Grandpa.
My Grandpa and I only a year and a half ago.
This is my Grandma and my mom and my aunt Teresa.
My mom and all her siblings and spouses.
All of us at the grave site.
For the Viewing and the Funeral everyone in the family wore Real Hawaiian Lais! My Grandpa LOVED Hawaii and had been there over 30 times in his life! We even passed out fake ones for the congregation to wear during the funeral service.
Guy Mortensen Gardner .... 
or as I called him "Handsome"
This was the collage I put together to go on the inside of the Funeral Program.
Im SO glad we did family pics only SIX WEEKS before my grandpa past! I posted below some of the pictures from that day, it was perfect timing! Im SO glad we did that.
I miss you Grandpa... We love you, and make sure you send "little Guy Stratton" down safe to us soon...
