My Grandma Joyce's funeral was so good. The talks were heartfelt, the musical numbers were amazing and the memories shared were so good. It was bittersweet to say goodbye. She had a good life and did many wonderful things in her life and saw many wonderful things. She had to endure to the end though the last few years as she dealt with Parkinson's. It was sad to see her body slowly shutdown over the years, but she kept fighting and kept trying to be involved in things. She was a fighter. I'm grateful for the memories I have of her and I'm so glad she was my Grandma. I know she is in a better place with her own Mom and Dad and 2 brothers who already have passed on. I hope my Grandpa can feel of our love for him and is comforted through this huge loss for him.

This table had a lot of the things my Grandma had made throughout her life. Seeing the car rug again brought back a lot of memories from when we played on it with all her cars.
The pallbearers- Brady, Steve, Brandon, Jeff, Austin and Bryan.

Watching the casket get lowered into the ground. They threw rose petals on top of her casket. 'Til we Meet Again Grandma!
The Relief Society from their ward put on a dinner after the graveside services at the Church building, which was really good. Then we all came back to my parent's house for dinner that night and a family get together. About 100 people came. It was fun to see everyone. Daneen, my Mom's cousin, brought food for everyone which was SO very nice of her to do that.
