Balloons to Heaven

Each year on the Sunday closest to October 19th, our family sends notes and wishes to grampa in heaven. Each one of my grandchildren take a few minutes and write a special note to their grampa in heaven. They are all so special and from their hearts.. they share with him, what they are doing in their lives, what they are feeling and just share their love for him. We then we tie them on to white helium balloons and send them off skyward.. Such a tender and special tradition that I love and it helps everyone remember Kent a little more and brings his love closer to each of them.
