I was able to go with my mom, cousins, aunts, and sister-n-laws to dress my Grandma. I was very nervous about going and almost backed out last minute but I am so glad I decided to go. It was a very neat experience for me and helped me have a little closure. This picture was taken right when we finished.
The night before the funeral Kelsey realized she had borrowed a dress of my Grandma's for a 50s dance last year and never returned it. She came down and asked if we thought she should wear it to the funeral. We decided it would be a sweet tribute to her. We went over to her house and took some dresses and some jewlery. A few of us wore her dresses, Abbey wore her wedding dress, and all her daughters and granddaughters wore a piece of her jewlery. It was a neat thing for us to do. She had great taste!
After the funeral we all went back to my parent's house and we let balloons off into the sky. It was fun and of course all the kids loved it.
The funeral was a wonderful tribute to my Grandma's life. We love her so much and miss her everyday! I can't wait to see her again.
