Thank you for taking the time to report back. With all the emotion I wouldn't

have faulted you for just keeping all the experience internally. Wow! So wonderful. May God bless you and your family.

My grandpa passed earlier this year and he too was beyond a great byu fan. He went to BYU since the 8th grade (as he went to BY-High).

My emotions are compromised this morning as you and your dad had such a precious experience.
