What can I say?

We've had a very eventful couple days.  Yesterday (Tuesday April 28th) we got a call from Clint's mom about 4:45am telling us that we needed to get to the Hospital as soon as possible because Clint's dad was going down hill very fast.  We got out the door as soon as we could, picked up Clint's brother Coleton and made it to the Hospital about 6:20, five minutes after his dad passed away.

After fifteen-months of fighting cancer, he's body just couldn't fight off all the problems that were going through his body.  We are very sad for the loss of Jim, but know that he is in a better place with out pain and suffering.  Jim was always such a great father-in-law.  I've been so blessed to be part of this amazing family.  I love them all dearly and will miss Jim so much.

Clint has been such an amazing rock for his mom and siblings through this whole event.  He  has been with his mom since yesterday as much as possible.  We've all been so busy with funeral plans and even though it's been only a day, it feels like it's been a couple weeks.  With Clint's graduation on Friday, with us trying to get our house on the market, and now funeral plans, we will be very busy and may go a little crazy!

If anyone is interested there will be a viewing on Sunday May 3rd from 6:00-8:00 at the Lindon Central Stake Center.  50 E 600 N, Lindon.  Then there will be an other viewing Monday May 4th from 11:00-12:45 and then the funeral will be right after at 1:00 at the same building.  We'll miss you so much Jim!
