Happy Memorial Day!

This year we spent Memorial Day weekend in Grapeland, TX visiting Josh's family.  Today we remembered all the men and women who have served our country but are no longer with us today.  We visited Augusta Cemetary where a long line of Josh's family is buried.  We lost Leroy Eugene Frederick back in November 2006.  Papa Honey or Lee was Josh's grandfather. 

We miss you Papa!  Happy Memorial Day!
Josh was devastated when Papa Honey passed; I have never seen or heard him so upset in our time together. Papa Honey certaintly made an impact on Josh's life. Though he was not technically his biological grandfather, you would not know the difference. They loved each other immensely.

  1. What a great way to spend Memorial Day! Andrew looks so grown up in the close-up of him and the Frederick headstone.
