Happy 8th Birthday to Evan William Trezise!

I left around 11:30 today for the valley.  Today is Evan's birthday but it is also Ian's brother, J.D.'s funeral.  I arrived around 3:30.  My lunch was a tuna sandwich and a Hershey bar from Circle K with a diet Dr. Pepper to drink.  

The funeral is at 5 in Mesa and Adam and James don't get home from work until after 4, but somehow we still make it in time.  

The funeral is at Meldrum Mortuary with an open casket.  I didn't think I was going to like the open casket but it actually was okay.  There was a slide show of pictures from J.D.'s life with some of his favorite music playing.  Ian and his brother Sean both spoke. Ian bore his testimony which was very sweet.

 I agree with Ian's father, no one should ever have to bury one of their children.

Those attending from our family: Stacy, Paul, Adam, Jared Ammon, Michael, Joshua, Sheri & Ian's family, and James and I.  The flowers Sheri ordered for the casket were beautiful.

Max and Ben are really struggling.  Max does not like the fact that J.D. is being cremated.  He is worried about him being resurrected.  Ben is just a sensitive guy and shows his emotions.

After the service James, Adam, and I and Sheri's family went to Matta's for dinner.  

 Alex is missing because he was at our table.

Ben must have brought a change of clothes.

When Adam gets home Paul and Stacy sit him down to have a talk about his diabetes.

Something I found fascinating on Facebook today:

I know for a fact that Joe has a hobbit hole

in his back yard.
