In Loving Memory



This post is in honor of my Grandpa, Burt Penrod.  He left this earth one year ago today.

He was an extraordinary man in very simple ways.  He loved my grandma and his family with all his heart.  He taught me how to whistle and how to blow bubbles in my bubble gum.  He shared with me his great love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  He was always a good example of how to work hard and put his family first. 

He had a laugh that was infectious and full of joy.  He had a green thumb and tried, without success, to convince me that biting into one of his freshly grown tomatoes like it was an apple was a good idea.

He gave the best hugs.  

I miss him, but I know I will see him again.
