I wish I could be there for yall right now. Grandpa Earl was always nice to me, and I remember many happy memories with him. I know that this is extremely hard on everyone there. I hope that everyone finds peace in your memories with Earl.
I always remember a funeral I every went to in which the priest said “We are not here to mourn in the loss, but, to instead, celebrate the life that was lived”
