Saying goodbye

Mark's grandfather, Graff Williams, passed away on March 27th. We are so saddened to lose such a wonderful man but so thankful for all of the time we had to spend with him. He was one of the most principled men I have ever met.

His funeral was in Iowa on April 9th and was a true testament to the type of man Grandpa Williams was. It was his wish to have music as his service and he even chose the music that was played--The Star Spangled Banner, Rhapsody in Blue, 2nd Movement of Dvorak's 9th Symphony, Moonlight Sonata, and Hallelujah Chorus. Grandpa chose to have music for his service because he believed, "Music cuts across all divisions of ethnicity and other differences and is a true unifying force."

He will be missed!
