A week before Jason's dad passed away, Jason was able to go out to Utah to say his goodbyes. He overlapped with his brother Todd for a day, and they got this picture of the three of them. Jason and I were so glad he got to go out for this trip. Not only did he get to see his dad one last time, but he got to help his mom as well, and see for himself that it really was time for Gary to move on.
The funeral was on March 23rd. I was 37 weeks pregnant and so sadly couldn't go. But Jason went, of course. Here he is with this siblings and his mom the morning of the funeral.
Everyone was there for a long weekend, so they took advantage of downtime to enjoy the beauty of St. George and the lovely weather.
The last night everyone was there they all went out to get ice cream, one of Gary's favorite things to do, and toasted him. He will certainly be missed, but never forgotten.

Not sure why, but that last picture really got to me. I am so glad someone thought to take pictures. Even though the family was together for a sad reason, those times need to be remembered, too.
How wonderful to record this tender time!
