Uncle Paul J Passes Away in June

 Justin and I made a quick trip up to Chesterfield to attend the funeral of our uncle, Paul Jr., who is dad's brother.  It was a happy passing in about every way.  Uncle Paul's health had been so poor for so long and the reunions with Aunt Audrey and the 3 babies they lost in 61, 62, and 63 would be there to welcome him with open arms.

The Chesterfield Cemetery is gorgeous, almost whimsical with stunning views of the valley.  It was joyous to see so many family members and friends I grew up with.

Attending funerals like Uncle Paul's reaffirmed ever more my beliefs in the purpose of this life, why we are here and how we should spend our time here.  My favorite quote from a talk is this, "Great fathers lead their children to Christ."

Thanks, Uncle Paul J, for your example as a father and believer of Christ.  You will be missed dearly.
