Most of you know by now but Brad's Granny passed away last Tuesday. There was a nice family service and graveside service on Thursday. We are all very sad about her passing, but it also brings comfort knowing she is finally at peace. She had a great life of 86 years with her family that loved her dearly. I told Brad as we were traveling to her graveside service that I couldn't believe how many cars there were and it was only a family service. She had such a large family and it was so great to see everyone since that doesn't happen very often. I thought the burial was very sweet, as all of the sons, grandsons, and great grandsons brought shovels and buried her. Connor even got to help. I will always carry that sweet memory in my heart. She was buried in a beautiful place, literally at the foothills of the Smokies. She was such a God loving woman and will be missed dearly!

What a sweet family picture. That is special that you have that memory to keep with you.
My precious little Grannie. The funeral was perfect. She would have been very proud of us all! We sang "Blessed Assurance" at the funeral (which was what she wanted). Funny thing is... As you know, I am Lutheran and we have sang songs that I know like 3 times in the year we have been there. The Sunday after we burried her, "Blessed Assurance" was in the bulletin for us to sing. It was the strangest thing. Funny how God helps us through things! Just thought I would share!
She was so wonderfully devoted to her family. Grannie certainly had that "Blessed Assurance."
