Farewell Uncle Marv

In June, my Uncle Marv (my dad's brother) passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is the first one of my dad's siblings to die.

He was always so nice and friendly to me, even though I was so shy that I would very rarely talk around adults. I was so glad his family choose to have his funeral in Utah so that we could pay tribute to him and his life.

She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
