My, Dad, Mom, Sister, Brother, Aunt, Uncle and a few cousins flew to Texas to bury my Grandma. We had a nice time. It had been a long time that all of us traveled together and it was nice to be able to spend a few days together. Because there was a little bit of down time we went to the movies, ate a lot of fried food, shopped, visited cemeteries, visited my Grandma and Grandpa's old house and property, and ate more food!
The viewing was really nice. We had a lot of people come and it was nice to see people we hadn't seen in a long time and may never see again. The next morning we had a graveside funeral for her. Texas was having a cold spell and boy was it freezing at the grave. But my dad and Aunt Barbra gave excellent talks and it was a really nice service. After the service we met at the church for a family lunch. Let me tell you Texas funeral luncheons are a lot different than Utah funeral luncheons. They have a whole bunch of different food. Bbq, salads, fried chicken, enchiladas, hamburger casseroles, cole slaw pies, etc... It was so good. Such a great ward my Grandma lived in.
