Grandma Lois's Funeral

This past weekend we were able to go to Southern Utah for my Grandma Lois's funeral (she is really my step-Grandma but she treated us like those was no staircase involved).  She had lived a great life and died old and very happy.  Her funeral was filled with tears and lots of laugh because she was an amazing person.

It was a great weekend especially because all my mom's brothers and sisters were there and they haven't been together for 21 years.  A lot of the cousins came also and we had a grand time visiting and hanging out.

Before the funeral we took some pictures.

After the funeral we ate a great lunch and visited some more (that's what happens when you haven't seen cousins for 10-15 years).

Afterwards we headed out to the cemetery where my Grandpa and Grandma B were buried.  It is quite a desolate little area but so good to go back and remember them.

Condolences to you and your family...and at the same time funerals are such a great time to see family again aren't they? I'm glad you had a great time reuniting.
