The Funeral

Today was Jarin's Grandpa's funeral, it was beautiful! Many wonderful things were said by his children and each of his grandchildren, the grandchildren got to go up and say there fondest or most memorable thing about him. Jarin touched on how important education was to his grandfather, he always stressed that everyone should go to college and work hard. His sister put together a wonderful picture montage and it was on the program and the paper that told the story of his life. Alot of work went into everything and it all was wonderful. Afterwards we went to dinner at Golden Corral cause that was how grandpa wanted it! We spent time with the whole family more than we would have at Thanksgiving, it was fun to catch up with everyone.

The kids took everything well, Alison and Tyler made their great grandma cards, and tole her they loved her. Alison mentioned in the car that she didn't think she had ever told her great grandpa that she loved him, she then wrote that in her card to her great grandma. Trevin was cute, he fell asleep through the funeral sitting up in his chair, before the funeral when we got to go to the viewing Trevin mentioned something to me about the man in the "Treasure Box" I thought it was sweet and didn't correct him. After the gravside we wondered over to Jarin's brothers grave and his other grandpa's grave, and Alison leaned more about the word Ancestor.


Our friend Krista made a flower arrangement for the funeral and it was perfectly beautiful with live plants and a purple pointsetta. It also had gold pine cones and gold glitter on the pointsetta. These pictures don't do it justice!
