Memorial Service

My cousin, Matthew, passed away on September 18th and we had a memorial service for him here. He loved living in Ephraim, the people here, and I would dare say he called it home after the short 1 1/2 years he was here. Along with getting to put together the memorial, we also got to play "hotel" to all of our relatives. It was so nice to have everyone together, even if the quarters were cramped. We enjoyed the company and all of the late night visits. It's not very often that we all get to be together.

We also got to have Shadow stay with us since he was going home with Aunt Merrily. We didn't mind. It was just like old times when Matthew lived with us. The kids absolutely love Shadow and he is MORE than patient with the kids.
