Uncle Denny

Its been a very sad few weeks. Last Dec. 25th, Christmas Day, Uncle Denny went into the hospital and found out that he needed a triple by-pass and that he had aggressive leukemia, a deadly combination. For awhile things looked good, the chemo treatments and the blood transfusions were working, but then he got RSV, and in his weakened condition, on March 21, 2015, while at home with his family all around him, he quietly passed. We will all miss him!

His final day at home with his family all around him.

 We drove up to Utah on Wednesday, picking Chad up in Sanders along the way. We attended the viewing later that evening.

 I wasn't wanting to see Uncle Denny this way, but he looked peaceful and nice.

 Thursday morning Lisa & Barry and Bret flew in. We all

went to the viewing before the funeral.

 LaVerl and Lynn Hatch were both asked by Uncle Denny to speak at his funeral.

Lots of their Nauvoo missionary friends came and then sang a

final song for Nan.

 Markee Davis Stoner took tons of pictures for Nan.

 

Their Ward put on a wonderful luncheon afterwards where we all got to mingle and visit for awhile longer.

I was lucky enough to get to spend a week with Aunt Nan after the funeral. She is the sweetest, most wonderful lady I know!
