Grandma Wanda and her seven surviving children.
I’m glad I snapped this picture of the girls with two of their aunts.
The funeral was wonderful! Each of the seven kids spoke and Chris sang Bring Him Home. Thankfully they had a nursery for the kids, so I was able to attend the funeral too!
All of the cousins who were there.
Cousins with spouses and children.
This was supposed to be of just Barbara and DeWin, but I like that Hattie is in it too!
All of our family was there, except for Nate’s family—they were on vacation somewhere.
That night we stayed in Layton with Brian’s aunt and uncle, Linda and Nigel. The next morning we drove to Idaho Falls for the burial:
Grandma Wanda was buried next to her husband, who died in March of 1982, and her daughter, Harriet Harris, who our little Harriet was named after. Harriet died in an accident when she was only 14 years old.
The graveside service was very nice, though most of it was spent running after Georgia.
Brian was a pallbearer—along with his other guy cousins who were there.
DeWin gave a nice talk.

After the burial, we went to a nearby church building for a luncheon that Kim and Janae put together. Then we started our road trip back home, stopping in Boise. The girls were obviously exhausted!
