My Great-Grandpa Gibbs was an avid skier and hiker (with 36 fourteeners under his belt) with a great heart, who left a wonderful legacy that included four children and their spouses, fourteen grandchildren & four spouses, and six great-grandkids (and one more on the way)!
Almost the whole family (we missed the rest of Uncle Wes' family!) gathered in Denver and Estes Park to remember and celebrate my Great-Grandpa on a very snowy day that he would have loved. There were many great stories told, memories re-lived and passed on, snowball fights, laughter, and tears.
I was so lucky to have gotten to visit Great-Grandpa a few weeks ago. He will be missed, but always remembered. His legacy will live on through me and all of our families.
