Velma's Funeral

Mike's Grandma Velma passed on June 30th. Her obituary can be found here. She was a wonderful woman who left behind a great family legacy. She had 3 children, 18 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren. Who were all in attendance. It was a beautiful service. I was taken back at how emontional I was. She was such a wonderful woman and I learned so much more about her. She has given me new goals for my self and a new role model to model my life after. She has been seperated from her husband for 16 years. It brings me great joy to know that they are now reunited. It was a fun trip celebrating the life of wonderful woman and spending time with family.
Mike and Kate at the headstone. Kate loved her GG. She got to spend some time with her in her final days that were very special. Although GG was not in the best condition Kate climbed up on her lap and hugged her and told her everything would be alright.

Mary Jane and Jackson remembering Grandma GG. Jackson asked his mom if he could have some water to water Grandma GG's flowers on her casket. They had a very special relationship. He is such a good boy.
Matt and Ali flew in from Omaha. They look good considering it was 110 degrees.

Our sweet Grandma's resting place next to her eternal companion.
Some of the Grandsons.
