California trip for Grandpa Milt's Funeral....

Last week I was in California for a week, my Grandfather Milt Willmore past away. The ceremony was very special, lots of great stories of his many adventures and all of our family from both far and near came to show how much he is loved, it was beautiful! He was a great man that everyone looked up to and loved deeply. He will be missed greatly, but he is in heaven now where he belongs.

I am just going to warn you now......I posted a ton of pictures from our week together.
