Grandma Kidd's Funeral

Grandma Kidd passed away about a week after her fall in the rest home.

She was so ready...had been for years.

A couple of bouquets...if you look closely this first one has Hershey kisses in it...because she loved them :)

This one was sent from my in-laws...

I thought the casket spray was beautiful!

And Grandma was such a master quilter so it was beautifully fitting to have one of her quilts draped across the coffin.

The next several pictures are from the viewing the night before the funeral...

And then these are from the viewing before the funeral...

I was able to accompany two of the musical numbers...my mom and two aunts and then my cousin Dallin.

All the granddaughters/granddaughters in law and great granddaughters sang "I Often Go Walking".

My sister Angie spoke and did such a beautiful job!

Such a neat hearse! 

Grandma was buried in Avon next to Grandpa....such a beautiful cemetery.

The pallbearers...

The siblings...

After the graveside there was a luncheon back at the church.

We were all headed to Park City after the events of the day but Matt had extra packing to do since he was going straight to camp from Park City so he got dropped off at home to get his stuff together.

Ben was being silly with Uncle James :)

Had I known we would be taking group pictures after the luncheon I would not have let Matt stay home.

No one got a shot of the whole group because we were all in it but here are a couple of all the cousins and then all the girl cousins.

These were taken on the steps of the church just a few doors down from Grandma and Grandpa's home.

The first five years of my life were spent in the basement apartment of that home so I have fond memories of attending church here.  It's a beautiful, old building.

Grandma was a lovely woman and even though she will be missed I am so happy she has been able to move on and reunite with Grandpa.

One of my favorite things about Grandma was her amazing whit!  She was sharp and sassy and had the best little laugh.  I say it was halfway between a giggle and a snicker.  I call it a sniggle :)
