Nana's funeral

On Tuesday we attended the funeral of Richard's grandma better known as Nana. It really was a beautiful day. A long day of driving but the weather just couldnt have been better. Even though funerals can be so emotional they usually make for a really great day. The reason for this is that you are surrounded by family, people you love. Often they are people you havent seen for some time and it is kindof like a reunion in a way.
Richard & some of his family members built this beautiful casket for her. These were the colors in her bedroom which she loved. She specifically asked for a gray casket with mauve lining. It was a truly a 'labor of love'.

I just love this picture of Tatum & Camdon rubbing noses.



Richard was honored to be a pallbearer.
Here is another cute picture. Camdon with two of his cousins that he just loves to hang out with. When we go to reunion each year, these three are inseperable.

There was a large turnout & it was evident how loved Nana is.

This is Nana in her younger years.

Later in life.


Nana as our kids know her.
