My grandmother was probably the most regal woman I have ever known, or will know. She was just brilliant. She passed away over the holiday, and family flew/drove in from all over. Some photos from the long day.
 |
| Cat flew in and we braved the cold and the roads with the Linton's out to Ephraim. |
 |
| My brothers, and cousins. Love me those Mordecai's and Allen/Ridings! |
 |
| The casket was covered in pink roses, because as she was passing she mentioned them a couple times. How she could see the pink roses. So I guess there are pink roses in heaven? It was so sweet. |
 |
| Hortins. |
 |
| Dad and Rachel. Goofy. |
 |
| Mom, and her father. |
 |
| Can't really keep anything serious. . . sorry. |
 |
| My brother Jake, and I. |
 |
| Brothers. |
 |
| Do you see the surprise guest in this photo. My Mother is hysterical! |
 |
| My mother and all her siblings and parents. |
 |
| My cousin, Justin Beiber... poor guy didn't hear the end of it. |
I can't say enough how amazing my family is. Not just my immediate family, the more I come to know my extended family the more I am just impressed with the quality of people that I am surrounded by. And really, that being said, my friends too... are just stellar people. I am so lucky. So even though it was sad to see Grandma go, she taught me to live and love and laugh so hard every day. Here is a funny thing she said before she passed away to my uncle:
Grandma: When am I going to die! (she was ready to see her husband!)
Larry: I don't know, I mean I know when I am going to die, but not you...
Grandma: How do you know?
Larry: It says on my birth certificate, there is an expiration date.
Grandma: (long pause)... Well go get my birth certificate! (big smile)
