What a beautiful tribute to a grand lady. I can see why she must have been so proud of her posterity.
My mother passed away just a month short of her 88th birthday and five days before her 65th anniversary. Her grandsons were also carried her casket.
It is comforting to know she continues to watch over our family and we miss her so.
I hopped over here from Red Shoes. Your picture just looked like a lot of fun and I couldn't resist. The picture of your family is beautiful. When my 102 year old dad died about a year and a half ago, the expected funeral fight happened in much more enthusiasm than expected and you should see that cousin's picture. Pretty sad. ~Heavy Sigh here~ Anyhoo - love your blog. I may have to just stay here. :))
