The day that the Kirkham twins were born was Shawn's grandpa's 90th birthday. But it just so happened that he died that same night. He had been in a rest home for a few months and going down hill so we knew this day was coming we just didn't think he would die on his birthday. He served in the army so he got a full military burial, it was pretty neat to see. They did the three gun salutes and played Taps. It was so special but made me cry even harder. Laurence was such a great man and grandpa. He is going to be missed very much.
Grandpa was a great farmer and took pride in working his land with his only son Larry. This was his tractor that one of his step grand kids rebuilt. He had it outside the church for everyone to see. He also drove it behind the hearse all the way to the graveside. It was really neat.
