That all for now folks, I’m tired :)

My Amazing Daughter

I have the best daughter in the WHOLE WORLD!!  She is so amazing,  She participates  in special Olympics, she is on the honor roll.  She Loves her animals, and works hard at everything she does. 

Right now she is doing Track and Field.  A few weeks ago she participated  in the area games but before she was able to do all her events we got rained out, well snowed out.  Later this month she will be doing her State games. 

One of the highlights of Special Olympics is the Torch Run.  She gets to carry the Special Olympics Torch with the police officers who raise money to support our kids!  Every time I see her with the torch I get tears in my eyes.  I think I’m the luckiest mom in the whole world!!!

Amazing

Last week one of Larry friends passed away, he was on the Fire Department.  Well, I just have to tell you, we (Corinne) have a AMAZING Fire Department and a AMAZING group of guys who all care for each other.    They all stepped up and put on the BEST, most memorable Funeral Service I have ever seen!!!!!  I was lucky enough to attend this, and like always I had my camera with me, so I want to share some of the Service with you.

First up is Clint, the Chief (I edited this and I have to say OMG this picture is GREAT!!!!!)

He is holding the helmet that was presented to the family.

I LOVED how everyone honored Jose!

They placed the Casket up on top of the Fire Truck

Larry and Scott pulling it up with them.

The guys climbing up for Jose’s last ride.  It was so nice to see the “old timers” and “new guys” on the department come together along with Tremonton, Brigham City and Weber County Fire Departments. 

This is the opening to the Cemetery. 

 

Weber County Honor Guard

The unloading, and let me tell you this was NOT a easy task!  But our guys made it look sooooo easy!

and the final.  I can say it was a HUGE HUGE honor to attend this ceremony!!

Jose, you will be missed by all who knew you!
