We had a great celebration of her life at the funeral on October 20th. We spent time talking with the kids about death, Heaven and where Grandma is. Abigail came to the funeral with us. She definitely had a tough time, especially since she was so close to Grandma. The highlight of the funeral was when we all said The Lord's Prayer in unison and Abigail was belting it out. It was amazing and I know that Grandma was watching and smiling.
We'll miss you, Grandma. And can't wait to see you soon in Heaven!
