Grandpa Bryce

On Monday morning while my parents and brother were here visiting, my dad got a call that his dad passed away earlier that morning. Grandpa Bryce lived in Mink Creek, Idaho until just a few months ago when he moved into Heritage Home in Preston, Idaho. He was honestly one of the most special people I ever knew. I have so many memories from my life of him and Grandma Carlene that have really shaped the person I am today.

Grandpa had a way of making every grandkid feel like they were his favorite. I can't even explain all of the influences that he had on me in my life. Probably one of the most important was his example of faith. He had one of the strongest testimonies of anyone I ever knew. He shared his testimony with his family a few years ago and having a copy of it is one of my biggest treasures. I know that he has been reunited with my grandma after 8 long years apart, and that their reunion had to be amazing.

I hope that I can continue the legacy that they have left and teach my kids the lessons that they taught my dad and me. We will all miss you Grandpa and will look forward to our own reunion with you.
Stephanie, Annie and Jacob
