Grandma's Funeral

If any family reads this, please remember that these are our families thoughts and feelings. If there is something that you don't like or agree with I apologize in advance. Rustin's grandma passed away in August. We were able to see her a few time while she was in the Beehive Home before the actually passing. Annalynn didn't really like seeing grandma while in the Beehive Home, because she had, had her stroke and she couldn't speak to you. Ryan was just fine with it. It was a sad day, but a blessing. Grandma had been in pain for so long.

The pallbearers...even President Metcalf helped, he is the one on the end. Rustin is the one in the white shirt.

The kids with grandma one last time. They sure did love going to her house and giving her "loves." I feel blessed that my children had the opportunity to get to know their great-grandparents. I never had that opportunity. I hope that they are old enough that they will have at least a little memory of her.

Ryan getting a drink at the cemetery. A side note. After the dedication of the grave. We were all getting ready to leave and loading up all the kids into the cars. Steven had disappeared. We had all had heart failure for a few minutes. He decried that he wanted to go play on the backhoe. So thankful that we found him and that he was okay. It is so amazing how kids don't see the danger in the things that they do.
