Grandpa's Funeral and Visit Home

On July 22, 2010 Grandpa Cliff Warling, my mom's dad, passed into heaven. He was the last grandparent alive in both families. It was very sad to lose him but he lived a good long 95 years and was ready to rest with God. Jake and I flew home in August for the funeral and family time. It is always sad to lose a loved one but it is good to see everyone and catch up. We had a military funeral for Grandpa and he was buried in his recipe box. He was a very good chef and owned many restaurants throughout his life. We had a big dinner at our house that night to celebrate his life. My mom had many wonderful things to tell all of us about what Grandpa had told her about all of us. During the weekend we went to Pike's Place Market, visited Hank and Rachel's house, had a wonderful salmon dinner at Uncle Dave and Aunt Sue's house, and did some wine tasting. It was wonderful to see our family from Texas, Aunt Bev and Uncle John.
