We will miss you Pompa!!!

On August 25, we unfortunately lost Braden's grandpa, aka "Pompa.". He had battled with Alzheimer's over the past few years, which is an awful disease that is very difficult to have to watch a loved family member go through.

We went to Meeker over Labor Day for his funeral and to celebrate his life. With a turn out of almost 500 people , it was a perfect example of the impact he had on his friends, family, and the small town of Meeker.

The morning he had passed, I was in San Diego heading to the horse races. The first race I say down for, there was a horse named "Smilin' from above." I like to think this was a clear message of where Pompa is now...a happy, clear-minded man smiling down on all of us:-)
