in LOVING memory of Grandpa Larsen...





My Grandpa passed away a few weeks before Christmas and I just wanted to dedicate this post to him!! I have very special memories of my Grandpa. He was such an amazing man! He is so family oriented and everything he did was centered around the Savior and his family. He was so giving and so loving. I LOVED hearing stories about him when he was younger and I know anyone who knew him, knew that he lived a life full of service and love. My most favorite thing about my grandpa is how silly he is! Even though his hearing was bad, he loved to be surrounded by friends and family. He always had a few jokes to tell, and ice cream to serve.(That LOVE of ice-cream has come through down through the line, to my dad an onto me. Ice-cream is an essential in our house, right next to bread and milk!)
Grandpa, thanks for being such an amazing example to me. You hold such a special place in my heart and I can't wait to see you again. I want to try and live my life in a way that you would be proud of! I am so Grateful to have been able to know you, and for my kids to have known you. We love you, and we can't wait to have
"Ice-Cream in Heaven..." with you!! Love Always...Jessica June
