Grandpa Ira's Funeral


We got to Logan Thursday night in time for the viewing. Maddie was very curious about the whole thing. She wanted to know if Grandpa would still turn 92 in heaven, she wanted to know if he would be berried with his glasses in his hand and many other questions.
The funeral was Friday morning. It was a beautiful ceremony. Aunt Judy did a wonderful job with the life sketch and Andy, cousin Tyler, and cousin Matt shared some great and emotional memories.
Next we went out to the Clarkston cemetery for the grave dedication. The weather cooperated and everything went smoothly.
the program-


Andy and sister Amber saying their last goodbyes-







The luncheon was cheerful and happy as the family enjoyed being together and knowing that grandpa is in a better place and no longer laying in a bed unhappy and unable to communicate.
Tyler entertaining a wild Garen-
Grandma Margaret and her 4 daughters-


what a sweet person; grandma was pleasant and positive through the entire day. She was tired and had been through a lot that week but she continued to smile and thank everyone for everything.

The kids enjoyed being pushed around on the chair holder-
