Casey's Grandfather, Dale Clemmer, passed away on July 1st. Although we knew it was coming (he had been in Hospice for a few weeks prior to his passing), it was still a sad shock to hear the news. Fourth of July weekend was filled with lots of love, tears and laughter as Casey and I joined the rest of the "Clemmer Clan" in honoring a great man, father and grandfather.
Casey and I drove to Midland, TX over Memorial Day weekend and, in hindsight, I am so glad we took the time to go visit GranDale in the hospital while he was coherent and full of life. Making the 8 hour drive again within a month was more bearable riding in the same car as Heath and April. As soon as we arrived, we were surrounded by cousins, uncles and aunts from far and wide. Although I know it was a hard time for everyone for their own reasons, Casey and I enjoyed hanging out with all the family.Casey's Gran, Helen, was a fan of peach! She had peach curtains, a peach couch and peach clothes. Before leaving town, Casey and I ran to Marshall's to find a suit for him to wear to the funeral. Gran must have been watching down on
us because as soon as we walked into the men's department, we saw these blazers. They were a huge hit at the viewing amongst family and friends that knew Helen and Dale well.
