Weekend

If you visit Peggy and Don's blog, you will know this already. Dave's Grandpa Krieger passed away last week. This is a difficult time as he was not a sick individual, but fell and hit his head while volunteering at the local hospital; went into a coma and passed. We went up to Cleveland last Wednesday. The funeral was Saturday and we drove home today. The funeral was a great honor to a great man and we will miss him very much! We had a piper (bagpiper that is) play amazing grace and another song (name? Peggy?) that he would have loved! Dave gave a remembrance that was both funny and touching. He did a great job and I'm very proud of him.


Here are two of my favorite pictures of him:

We didn't take many pictures but here is one of the girls at Costco: hard to get moving targets to sit still

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I told Marshall when I pass I want a bagpiper to play. I adore bagpipe music.

He looks like a wonderful man.
