My Grandpa Carlyle George Gourley

I just got back Thursday from my trip to UT to attend my grandpa's funeral. The viewing was Monday night and the funeral was Tuesday. They were really lovely services. He looked so peaceful and we all agreed that he had his signature little smile on his face. He was a wonderful husband, dad, son, brother, uncle, grandpa and great-grandpa. All but two of his grandchildren were there! Some of my favorite memories of Grandpa include: working with him in his yard, picking raspberries and cherries, him coming to my basketball games, to my prom-night send-offs, staying the night at their house, his golf-cart, him picking up our walnuts and canning them, and him stopping by our house just to say hi. Just this past May Grandma and Grandpa came to Logan after my finals and gave me a ride down to Lindon to my parents house. Chris had already left to KY. It was so nice to be able to spend that time with him. Grandpa treated me to Wendy's on the way home. I love my Grandpa Gourley. I also look forward to many more fun times with Grandma Gourley. What a wonderful and strong woman she is.
