Our family has had a tragic loss this week, my Rhett's father Loy suddenly died due to heart failure Sunday morning. We're obviously with family this week in preparation for his funeral.
Grief is difficult to deal with, but our faith helps us get through and realize how blessed we are to have had all the years with him.
Loy's two younger sons both had babies on the same day, and we were able to bless them together last month. Originally we planned to bless Ellaria next Sunday, but we crashed Joshua's day in Orem and we're so glad so all the Crapo men could be together one last time.
As for my part, the father makes the son.
Loy was a perfect example for Rhett and I attribute so much of Rhett's kind, hard-working, patient, affectionate nature towards me and our kids from watching his dad. So not only having him as the perfect father-in-law and Grandpa to our kids, I feel so blessed to have the privilege to have snagged a son of Loy Crapo.
