I don't believe he was a mormon but I have to say that they steped up and really did a great job for the family. (Money was an issue) They gave them a place to 'celebrate his life' and they did it in style.  Awesome folk.

The best comment of the night was from Grandpa George... he kept actually remembering people... didn't you work on my electricity?  You should stop by.  Didn't you do this?  You need to come see me.  To one fellow he said, "You haven't been around for a while.  You KNOW the coffee pot is always full." He looks around at his surroundings and says... "That's the only thing that's missing..."
(Mormon's don't drink coffee ;) 
It was awesome.!! 

I love Grandpa George.

    And about yesterday, the being a boob issue, we ALL have those moments. We wallow, and then we go back to moving forward. They are like rest areas for our soul.
