A great man!- Julie

 Dad you truly are an amazing person!  This family is so blessed to have you. You have always known just what to say to me when I needed guidance. One of my most special memories of you is a recent one. When you and mom were visiting us right after Trace was born. We were being told that Trace had some medical problems and I was feeling so scared and sad. I remember Rusty asking you if you would give Trace a blessing. The spirit was so strong and I felt all my worries wash away. It was such a special night for me and gave me so much peace! Talking to you has always done that for me. You know just what to say exactly when I need to hear it. You are a spiritual giant Dad and I thank the Lord for you every day.
 I also love your sense of humor! I think you passed that on to all of us! Your laugh is just contagious. I always love watching you when you find something humorous. It just makes me so happy. I'll never forget when you would watch Leave it to Beaver and just laugh and laugh! That show is on Netflix now and I love watching it because it makes me think of you and the times we would watch it together at night.
 Another thing I will never forget is a night when I was trying to do a report for my government class and I was just crying and crying because I felt so overwhelmed and I didn't understand the topic I was supposed to be writing about. I remember you came and sat down at the table, put your arm around me and said "its no big deal Julie we'll figure it out". I told you the topic and you proceeded to tell me everything you knew about it! I was amazed at how much you knew about it and you made it so easy for me to understand. You helped me through the whole assignment and if I remember right I got an A! Thanks for always being there for me Dad!
