This year as we celebrated Father's Day, we gave special thought to Jay's maternal grandfather, John A Bourne, who passed away on June 9. We made a super quick trip to Utah for the funeral and were comforted by the wonderful feelings of peace and love while we were with family. John A was such a wonderful, caring, kind person. He lived a wonderful life with a wonderful wife and kids. Jay and I always say that we hope to someday be like his grandparents because they truly are the most charitable people we know. I've always admired them and always looked forward to spending time with them when we went to Utah. I am especially grateful for Jay's parents who ended up flying us out to Utah just a few weeks before so we were able to spend time with him before he passed away. I believe Brenda must have had some prompting to have us visit when we did. Since both of my grandpas were gone before I was born, Grandpa Bourne was the only grandpa I ever knew, and I feel so lucky to be part of his family. We love and miss you, Grandpa!
