A man’s best friend. Today was a very difficult day for Matt. He had to put his black lab down today. Bucky was Matt’s hunting dog that he got his junior year of highschool. When Matt left on his mission Matt’s dad Pappa Kurt took care of Buck. Buck was a good dog. He never growled or barked. He was really good with kids, even in his later years when he was older. We’re glad that Mason and Maxwell got to know him for a short time. Thanks Buck for 14 years of friendship…
My Grandma Barker died 2 days after Mackay was born. We were sad to have her leave us, but glad she is out of pain. My Grandma Barker is my mom’s mother. She is one of those amazing people. She had 8 children. She was a great mom and I always loved hearing about all of her stories and traditions. She was a super hard worker. My Grandma is one of the toughest people I know, she has battled cancer several times through out her life. The cancer finally won and was everywhere in her body. I will never forget:
My Grandma’s French braids that were so tight my eyes looked Chinese.
My Grandma’s great example spiritually. No matter what life threw at her she always had a strong testimony of the church.
My Grandma’s love for her family. I loved all of our family parties and get togethers.
Making scones with my Grandma.
My Grandma kept everything I gave her. I loved going to her house and seeing all of my pictures all over her house. She also framed a poem I wrote in 7th grade and hung in the hall of her home.
I always knew my Grandma Loved me!! She had 28 Grandchildren and 17 Great grandchildren and each one of were special.
I love you Grandma!! I am glad you are no longer in pain and with Grandpa.
My Mom gave a beautiful talk at the funeral. Matt and Scooter were Pal Bearers and Scooter dedicated the grave.
