Happy days
The oldest of my mom's sibling, Aunt Olive Young Nielsen died five days after her husband, my Uncle LaMar passed away. Kirk and I made the trip to Roosevelt twice in a week. It was a most enjoyable experience which may seem weird of me to say. They were both very old and suffering. Their children and grandchildren had cared for them for a very long time. They were more than ready to go. I loved the tributes to both of them, and the opportunity to see my cousins, and other family members. We stopped at the cemetery to photograph headstones of my Grandpa and Grandma Young and Uncle Perry Young. I also snapped these photos with my phone from the display the family had at the funerals.
It is so neat to see pictures of Grandma Clara. I am going to have to show them to Clara. I remember Aunt Olive and Uncle LaMar very well. I always had a great place in my heart for them.
ReplyDeleteI showed Jacob the picture of you too and he said that he loves you :)
