When our children were young, we taught them a song titled "The World's Greatest Father." Now, 20-something years later as our family talked about creating a blog to keep our family and friends informed on our current journey with cancer, the "kids" suggested the title of this blog. I'm sure their reasons for such a title reach way beyond the song, although perhaps echoing the last line-- LeeR: And who's gonna love you better than any daddy ever did? Kids: YOU ARE! LeeR: That's right, kids!

Forever sweethearts
My sweetheart went home yesterday surrounded by loved ones on both sides of the veil. Sadness and joyfulness at the same time. Oh how we miss him. I'll write more later but wanted our blog friends to know. We will have a celebration of his life on Wednesday at our home from 6:00-8:00 and the viewing and funeral will be Thursday at the Midway Stake Center at 10:00 and 11:00, respectively. Thank you all for your support, prayers, and love.We are truly blessed.

Bonnie and I send our prayers your way. We are thinking of you and your family. May the Lord bless you in this time of sorrow.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm so sorry that LeeR didn't make his goal of playing alp horn at Swiss Days. Doug and I were planning a trip to Midway for that event. My heart is really heavy for all of you but so rejoicing in the end to all LeeR faced the past months. I really laughed a lot at the cute song the kids did in the video. You definitely have a large cheering section of support in your family. I'm wanting to come up to the funeral, however, may not make it due to Doug having 3 MRI's on that day. Love, love, love you!
