In memory

Grandpa Grant passed away on June 28, 2014. We were very sad to see him go to be with The Lord, but we rejoiced that he knew Jesus as his personal savior. He left a tremendous legacy for his children, grand-children and his community.

We miss him lots. Here are a few pics to share with all:
