My sweet Grandpa Virg passed away after struggling with Alzheimer's. He was the sweetest man and he always looked so nice and smelled so good. He took such good care of my grandma and was always kind. I love the memories I have of him from when I was little. He was the first to teach me that you could break the sabbath. He took me to Grouse Creek a few times and taught me things I probably would have never learned otherwise, like it is okay to cook with beer, leaches don't kill you, and to bite a stick while your grandpa pulls cactus needles out of your leg. I also love the memories I have of him lately. When he first started forgetting he was so cute and when you would ask a questions he would say "O I know I should know that but I just can't make a full loop". He had a hard time remembering the present but had no problem telling stories from his youth, and he didn't skip a cuss word while telling them. I love how much he loved Dean, and how Dean loved to hear all of his stories. He gave Dean the last two pair of his cowboy boots because he wanted a real cowboy to 'keep them working'. He loved Josie and her red hair, it reminded him of his Sharon. He was so cute to my kids. O I just love Grandpa Virg and it was fun to see everyone at his funeral. I'm sure there was a great reunion in heaven!
