We love you grandpa!

Scott’s Grandpa Strong passed away peacefully on Sunday (March 24th) surrounded by family. From the first day I met him he was always so kind I felt like one of his grandkids. He is someone I have always admired. Grandpa made me feel so loved by his kind words and tight hugs. He had such a love for life, his family, and the gospel. He was always learning new things, reading, and was an amazing puzzle solver. Grandma and grandpa showed our children so much love and support. We have many sweet memories from our Sunday game nights with ice cream. He lived a wonderful 94 years. I am so thankful we were able to be there when he passed. I will miss him dearly. I love you Grandpa!

Update: It has been a month since grandpa's passing. I always said when it was his time to go I would be okay because he was 94. He lived a good life. It has actually been a lot harder and I miss him so much. I miss his tight hugs and his sweet words. I miss hearing him tell a story about his past. I miss our Sunday visits.  I wish I had asked him to write letters to each of the girls. I feel like I missing some kind of closer. I thought I would be okay but I guess I was not ready to really say goodbye. The funny thing is he wasn't my actual grandpa but I felt like his grand daughter. Both my grandpa's passed when I was younger so he is the one we always saw as each of my children have been born. He was there for all the big events. Baptisms, blessings, dance recitals, etc... I miss you grandpa so much!
