Grammy's Funeral

Our family before the service began.
Grammy's four kids. From the left; Sharron, Sheila, Cheryl, Greg (dad). You can't see the flowers in the background, but they were very pretty. Thank you to all who contributed!
This picture was taken of all 9 grandchildren about 28 years ago. Front:John Scott, Jennifer, Leah, Jeff, Mary Ruth. Back:Ben, Heather, Michael, Lori.
We took the updated version at the funeral home. We are all a little bigger and Leah refused to sit on Jennifer's lap:)
The grandkids, all grown up.
Grammy's funeral was very well done and ended up being a blessing. Dad read 1 John 4:7-12 which is Grammy's favorite passage, and he prayed, Mary read from Romans, Ben read a devotion Grammy wrote on the hymn Blessed Assurance, Jeff sang and played his viola and Heather, Leah, and I shared some stories about Grammy. Pastor Matt Fleck read her eulogy and gave a messgae. Overall, it was very good. Los of people that were near to each of us were there as well as MANY who came out of their love for Grammy. It was a ad day as we said goodbye, but a good day visiting and sharing with each other as well. I met my cousin's youngest child for the first time. She is now 5! I also saw another cousin I hadn't seen in about 15 years! We all love and miss Grammy.
