Time to Say Good-bye......
A very sad time in the lives of our family....My father's little sister passed away this past week.
It has been heart-breaking and inspiring all wrapped up in one.
A life well lived....gone too soon.
Kristen flew down from Alaska and Nicci drove in from California.Kristen and Zoe and I hooked up in Salt Lake and flew down to
Vegas together. Nicci picked us up at the airport. She hooked us up once again with a sweet room at the JW Marriott in Vegas.....
