My Grandpa Miller died in his sleep on Wednesday and his funeral was today. My dad, Meagan, Kristen, Danny, and Ashlyn were able to go to Manti and spend time with family to celebrate his life. The rest of us truly wanted to be there, but unfortunately it was not feasible to get us there on such short notice. Grandpa has been deaf, blind from macular degeneration, and suffering from diabetes and multiple strokes for years. That being said, in many ways I am relieved to know he is a better place, finally free from the pain he has endured for so long. Even when I was growing up he wasn't able to do or say very much. I am grateful for the knowledge that I will see him again and really get to know him after this life. Here are some pictures my dad's cousin sent me:
