Bill Anderson, Donny's father, passed away Friday, October 8, 2010.
His son, Gregg, gave a wonderful tribute to him at his funeral titled,
"What Makes The Man?"
He truly was a man of God- kind and loving and true to his faith.
He had diabetes since age 1 and fought a mighty fight for his health all his life.
He found meaning and happiness in life until the moment he died.
"By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them-"
As we gathered as a family it was a celebration of what a good life he led.
Even though both his legs were amputated,
he left some big shoes for his children to fill.
Here are the grandchildren eating dinner together
the first night they gathered in Portland.
This is all the grandchildren practicing the song,
"I am a child of God" for the funeral.
This is our children (Plus a cousin) the morning of the funeral,
trying to keep their church clothes clean.
The kids had fun driving around in his wheelchair.
They thought the whole gathering was a party!
This is the whole family at the funeral.
What an awesome gathering!
What an awesome gathering!

Donny - we love you. I do not look forward to the day I have to say goodbye to either of my parents in this life. Although the circumstance wasn't ideal, that time to gather with your family and celebrate your dad's life is precious and priceless. We are so glad you and your family were able to be there.
