Mother, David and I went to put some flowers on Daddy's grave. I keep forgiving to take my camera. I'll try to remember to take it next time.
It was hard to go and put the flowers on Daddy's grave....it's been two months. This makes us face the reality of it all. We really do miss him. But we are remembering different things that he would say or do. Mom said today, he would be laughing at us putting these pretty flowers out there on that hill!

A little change

So I changed up the blog a little bit. I figure we can use it to summarize everything that is happening in the L.B. and Martha Vaughn family!!

There are several blogs for our family so I will include all those links on here as well!

David and Alicia Vaughn Wedding

On Saturday April 4, 2009, 6years exactly after their first date, David and Alicia were married!! Here's their video!

1 Month

I can't believe it's already been over a month since Pop passed. On one hand it seems so long ago and then on the other we're ready to pick up the phone and call him. We miss him dearly and always will. I wanted to post some pictures of the beautiful flowers that were sent! Thank you to everyone who sent them and for everyone's prayers and thoughts!! Paula told me that Pop's headstone has been set out. Once we have pictures of it I will post them also.





Here are some mementos that we set out during the visitation.







Here's Pop's beautiful casket. Looks like something he could have made himself!


Here are a few pics from the cemetary. Pop is in the Holy Trinity section.

March 10,2009

Mother is doing quite well. She said that twice now she has stopped and called out to him to ask a question. She is at peace with the passing of Dad. She knows that he is in Heaven and isn't hurting any more.
Over the last few days, we have sat and remembered things that were happening to Dad, never knowing that he was dying. His kidneys had poisioned his system so much. The commands from the brain to his feet never made it. We had to pull on the leg he needed to move to walk. He would remember things and then be confused about the oddest things. Even in the last trip to ER, Dad could say his S.S. number.
Dad knew the end was close. He told Mother, "I can't walk, I can't stand, I can't lay down, and now I can't breath." But now he can do all those things!! I stop and wonder what he is doing. The words to the song "I can only imagine" come to me all the time. What will we do when we face the Lord?

Daddy- God's faithful servant

For those of you that have been following this blog, I want you to know that one of God's faithful servant has gone to be in his home in Heaven! Dad was a good man, a wise father, and the best handy man around. I would tease him when he would come over to help me with something. I would say, which hat you wearing? He was a jack of all trades!
Dad has been sick for over 10 years. His back has hurt. But even yesterday Dad's grip was one that was firm. He was still shaking hands with the men that came in the room.
It's going to be hard not to call over their house and ask how are things. We all will miss him.

Visitation and Funeral

Visitation will be Friday from 6:30 - 8:30p.m. at Jayne's.

The Funeral will be Saturday at 1:00p.m. at Jayne Funeral Home and Chapel.
