We left for Utah on Thursday for the funeral. The funeral was very nice. All six children spoke and the grandchildren and great grandchildren sang I Am A Child of God while I accompanied them. I loved to hear the stories the children gave about her. Two of the daughters talked about the love that grandma and grandpa had for each other. They were always holding hands. They always sat by each other at church. Kids were not allowed between them. She was a great supporter of her husband in his many church callings. She taught her kids how to work. She was a great gardner and loved a nice looking yard. The kids did not always like he yard work but loved the end result. She was always dressed well and had a great sense of style. When Wades sisters were younger she should take them shopping at Nordstrom for a new outfit. As I watched the slideshow of pictures of her through the years she was always dressed so well. It was interesting to sit and listen to stories of things that were taught to Wade's dad Scott that have been passed on to Wade. She was a neat lady and was a great example to me. As I sat and listened to the various stories there were so many things that she did that I want to apply in my life. I know that we will all miss her and are sad that she is gone. I am grateful for the knowledge of the plan of salvation to know that we are sealed to her and will see her again. It makes this process so much easier. Below are some pictures I took. Mostly from the graveside service. Wade was asked to dedicate the graveside. He did an awesome job. He was grateful for the opportunity to do that.
The picture on the front of the program is grandpa c's favorite picture of her.
