My Papa

My Sweet Papa went home to be with the Lord early this morning. He fought a long and very courageous battle with brain cancer for the past two years. He was a precious man, loved by many. I am so blessed to have had him as an important part of my life for so long. Today he heard "well done good and faithful servant, well done!"

My uncle created a wonderful website in his memory, check it out for tons of great photos. But, here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of years.

At our wedding.
