Grandpa Schlensker

It was a very bittersweet day when we said bye to Grandpa Schlensker.  It's always sad to see a grandparent pass away, let alone your last one.  Grandpa was ready to move on which made it a happy day of remembering him and being with family.  There were many sweet moments during the day with seeing family, hearing beautiful songs, and touching words.  There were also moments of questions and answers from our kids and the "bye Grandpa Schlensker" calls from the back of our van as we drove away from the cemetery.  We went to Grandma and Grandpa Schlensker's house afterwards since Lindsey and the girls have never been there and they were treated to a drive down my Memory Lane as well as Papa D and Uncle Dale's.

Families Can Be Together Forever

Together again - you could almost hear Grandma barking his name

One last goodbye to Papa Scahta (how Mae used to say Grandpa Schlensker)

This picture has hung here for forever

It's a little surreal to see your own kids walking through the rooms of such fond memories

So many happy memories in this room

And this room
