funeral weekday

the flowers were beautiful

the casket was beautiful

at the burial site

saying bye bye to mimi

this one is crashed out while having a snack before we head back to boise for the night

it is always sad to have to meet with family (sometime it seems like the only time we get to see them) on such a sad moment in time, but we are so grateful for our plan of salvation to see grandma great again!! shaydon did so well with all aspects of his 1st death in either of our family's. we showed him pix of them together and talked about seeing her in heaven some day. "jesus is taking care of her right now" he wanted to see her in the casket and asked why her eyes were closed? he said he will miss her as we all will. happy she gets to see her husband again!! since i am posting this sooo long after the fact i can tell you a story of when shaydon went in to get his 1st cast off. we got there a little early and we were sitting in the truck he said in a really sad low voice "i wish grandma great would be here with me? i said she is sweet heart she is looking at you from heaven. he said to me but her eyes were closed, MOM?!!! so we talked about how the body is here on earth and the spirit goes to heaven and he was okay with it and new she was going to help him be soo brave!! i just love the sweetness of shaydon's personality. i love you!!
