It has been 1 year today since Duncan passed away. Although today is the actually anniversary we kind of did everything yesterday. It was a Sunday morning and conference weekend so it just seemed more fitting to do it yesterday. We took orange balloons over to the cemetary where we did some talking and a lot of crying. We watched the Duncan movie (the one played at the viewing) twice and cried through it both times. As it was a time of mourning it was also a time of celebration because we know Duncan is free and happy. I am sure he is busy doing missionary work and putting on musicals so it does help us to feel peace and happiness for him. We miss him but I just cant help but smile when I think about where he is and what he is able to do now.
Last year, the weekend before he passed, they (Syd, Troy and Carolee) took a drive up to Provo Canyon Falls. They took lots of pictures and saw the beautiful leaves. They are so grateful for that little trip so this year, the weekend before the anniversary, we took that same drive with the family. It was so beautiful!
I also want to thank Debbie, Alayna and Kelly for putting out 50 orange balloons in the front yard! What an amazing sight. It was too dark outside to get a good pic but take my word for it, it was awesome!
We love you Duncy and thank you for all you have taught and all you still teach us.

Can't believe it has been one year. Wow. Time escapes us, doesn't it? What a fun way to remember him and honor him. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for sharing. We've been thinking about Duncan as well. I'm so glad that every time I wear or even see orange, he's the first thing that I think of. We miss him, too, but are with you in knowing that he is free and happy and is no doubt enjoying his time, hanging out with Grandpa Tom, singing, running, dancing, and getting ready to school Grey in B-ball! Love you guys!
