Sherman Walter Mabey (aka Grandpa)




On a more serious note, my grandpa passed away last Sunday. The kids and I went to Utah for the funeral and just got back today. Anyone who know my grandpa knows that he loved to farm and has been farming his whole life. His farm land is practically the only undeveloped land left in South Jordan, UT. One of the most meaningful experiences we had as a family this past week was the procession to the cemetery...my grandpa's coffin was towed behind a tractor on a flatbed trailer where bales of straw were placed. All the grand kids and great-grand kids went for one last a hay ride with Grandpa Mabey.
