I sure thought of some great memories of him as I spent some time at the Cemetery this past weekend and strolling past his grave site. After reading your post, I was laughing and crying at the same time because you described him in a way that I remember him. <br /><br />Happy Birthday Kirby!<br /><br />P.S. Sure am looking forward to seeing you guys in July. Have you checked out Anthropologie lately?? supe cute stuff!Marcaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570437223396497189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-41721681996288479542009-05-25T22:10:08.384-07:002009-05-25T22:10:08.384-07:00What a great post.

I'm certain he knows that sweet Ruby so well and admires the way you love and care for your family. Thank you for keeping his memory alive for all of us. He was remarkable man who is so loved by his family. I am grateful that certain traits and gifts he had have been passed along to his children and grandchildren. Won't it be an incredible, wonderful, perfect moment when we are once again together as a family...never to be seperated again! Let's hope this happens sooner than later.<br />Sure love you!<br /><br />ChristineChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758430114338372636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-5300675800956191482009-05-17T13:14:00.000-07:002009-05-17T13:14:00.000-07:00Carrie, What a tender post.

I read everything about your dad; it made me cry...I still refer to your mom as Rita Giles: I guess when you grow up your whole life in someone's ward,and they are your piano teacher for several years and they teach you in school you don't give up on their names very easily. I hope things are going well for you. I recently had my first- a little boy named Mason- a couple weeks ago. Anyway- thanks for letting me steal some space. :)<br />Amandamonkeystevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153707531779396236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-86241027234095312762009-05-07T08:48:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:48:00.000-07:00Carrie, That was so sweet and what a great remind...Carrie, That was so sweet and what a great reminder to us all of what a great man your dad was.

How sweet to remember your dad in that way...Carrie,<br />How sweet to remember your dad in that way. He was a great man and he loved you very much. I remember how he loved showing you off. One time in church, you fell asleep on his shoulder and it was time for the choir to sing. He walked right up there with you on his shoulder and sang in the choir. You didn't even wake up.<br />Everyone around me mentioned how tender it was to see the love your dad had for you.<br />Love, MOMRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739933959496463182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-57404406829974227152009-05-06T19:25:00.000-07:002009-05-06T19:25:00.000-07:00Carrie, that was a great post.

I can imagine him with that belt trying to keep his pants up while gardening or changing the water on the lawn, though, just like it were yesterday. I love that you are keeping his spirit alive and reminding us that he lives on. He and my mom are some of the most unique Crayons in the box - irreplaceable. We love you, Kirb!!!M-Warehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871295067377692536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-78414087763090908012009-05-04T11:52:00.000-07:002009-05-04T11:52:00.000-07:00What a wonderful tribute to an amazing man!

I always regret that My kids never knew him and I often think about how much he would have loved my kids. They think that they knew him and I love that. Way to go on keeping his memory alive. I know Korinne will love this.House of Hullingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110881966501696677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458308723071407205.post-58823001686654034652009-05-03T23:21:00.000-07:002009-05-03T23:21:00.000-07:00Yep.
