While I was in Utah my Grandpa Warner, unexpectantly passed away. My Grandma passed away about 3 months ago after battling cancer. I was able to stay in Utah and travel to Idaho for the funeral. One of the things that has stuck in my mind was when a church leader described my Grandpa as having faith so strong that is could not keep him away from my Grandma any longer. I feel so blessed to know that they are happy to be together again. I have been thinking a few memories of my Grandpa that I always want to remember.When I was a little girl and my grandparents would come to visit they would stay in my room and I would be moved out to a couch or somewhere else. I remember my grandpa would always tell me to look under my pillows and I would find quarters that he had left for me.
My grandpa gave really good hugs, they were the tight kind where you could tell he really meant it.
When we were on vacation in Mexico a year ago he always had his new camera with him and he took tons of pictures. Also, he was quite the bargain hunter for his hat ( I may have gotten some of that from him).
He was always smiling; there is no doubt in my mind he is smiling now.

Great tribute, Janae. We are so glad you were able to be here for the funeral. Those are fun memories of Grandpa.
Did we already establish that I had a Grandpa Warner too? Coincidence. Now they are both smiling down on us from heaven :)
I love your tribute to grandpa, Janae. Thank you for being so supportive while you were here in Utah and Idado. I meant a lot to me.
This is very nice Janae. I never knew that he left you quarters!
Great comments and memories
