My Grandpa & My Hero

Shirl Bawden Inkley

My Grandpa Inkley passed away this last weekend to return with his Heavenly Father. He truly is my hero in so many more ways then one. His willingness to reach out to those in need and serve unconditionally. His sweet spirit filled any room he was present in and he sure did have a great love for the gospel. He had such a burning testimony which he shared often, for he wanted to be sure his family knew that this gospel is true. It was so important to him to live a life that would allow him to return to our Father in Heaven. I know I will see him again and our family will be reunited to together forever and ever.
