Grandpa's Funeral

Well the funeral services were wonderful. My cousin Lauralee sang a Beautiful song and my cousin Gina and Kimmy did a song with the violin and the piano. They are Very talented and all did a wonderful job. One of the things the bishop said that I just loved was "I've always heard about Harold's posterity and I've never seen it, but WOW" made me laugh. What do you expect when they had 11 kids, 62 grand kids and 159 great grand kids. And that doesn't include all the spouses that come with it.
I think everyone held there emotions pretty well. Until my dad had us sing "Happy Birthday" to my Grandma, it was her birthday. I know I lost it then. But Grandpa's death was a Good thing, he lived a wonderful life and he is now reunited with his Wife and Daughter, parents, Grandson and a few great grand children.

Katrina made me laugh. How do you explain death to a child? I told her that his spirit went to heaven and we were going to bury his body in the ground. So she asks, How are we going to get him down from heaven? Then asks (on the way to the funeral) if we brought shovels. Silly girl.
