Today was my Grandma's funeral/memorial...

We went to my Grandma's funeral service today. Her daughter's had picked out a casket that was pink metal, perfect for grandma. My mom said it matched grandpa's that was blue metal, same style.There were several bunches of beautiful flowers...

The little program they gave out had the cutest picture of grandma in it- but what picture isn't cute right?

After the pastor gave a few words, he said the family members could speak if they wanted to. Uncle Stu got up and said some funny stories, things about my grandma I didn't know like she walked really fast... made me think if she might have been a runner if she wanted to... and also spoke how grandma's prayers had touched him. Her prayers have touched us all. I know grandma's prayers to God... played a big part in my salvation. I love my grandma so much...

I got a little teary eyed, but I was trying to hold it together cause I knew once I started crying I wouldn't be able to stop. I did get choked up when I heard my auntie Linda crying behind me... I know she's been thur so much... love you auntie Linda! And I also started crying a little when the "Jesus loves me" song was played cause I know Grandma loved that song. Didn't particularly like that version... just sayin'...

Anyway, afterwards we all headed over to Sharon's for some yummy food and just to be together and talk about Grandma and fun memories, we even got out some old pictures to look at.... so many pictures so little time!

Then of course we had some family group pictures. I didn't bring my camera cause I didn't want to deal with it, so I'm glad my mom did so we could have these great pictures. She took 59 pictures total, but don't worry, I think I only have about 10 here to share... here's Linda's family... she has some GREAT LOOKIN' grand kiddos!

Here's Mary's family... with little granddaughters... so cute!

Sharon's family.... those were great sandwiched Brian- you did a great tasty job!

Susan and Stu... there 2 kids and 6 grandkids are out of state... but not for long??? Just wishful thinking... maybe...

Cindy and Lee's family (aka my mom and dad!)

Here's Misty's family... Denny, Mason, Dennis, Kelsey and Misty.... can't believe how tall Denny is getting... hey how did Grandpa get in the back there lol

And my family, we are missing the adorable Aurora tho... (I think I'm needing a serious hair cut- those last few inches are lookin' kinda wispy

Look- alot of us girls wore pink for Grandma- her favorite color was pink...

I know Grandma Cindy and Kelsey are super cute in this picture- but I can't get over how adorable Jade is! Love that face! And those shiny sparkly silver teeth!

Kimmy and I. This is so funny cause I told Kimmy that I wanted to wear pink for Grandma's day. Even tho I hate the color pink I wanted to wear it (actually had to go out a buy something pink cause I own nothing pink) and Kimmy- who also hates pink- said she was thinking the same thing that she was going to wear pink also... so I started telling whoever to wear pink for Grandma and alot of people did!

Laura, Kent and I.... we are just missing the amazing Kyle... not the same with out you Kyle!

It was a nice day. Lots of yummy food. I know I'll see my grandma again, just wish it was sooner rather than later... I want to be up in heaven dancing, too... and seeing Jesus face to face...
