Grandma Darlene

Natalie and Julian~just being cute...
All of the grandsons were the Pallbearers and I thought that was the perfect choice. I always wonder what it feels like for a Man to be a pallbearer. Definitely, a special feeling but, not really a happy one.
After the service, we all took flowers and set them on the casket. We took many pictures afterwards and I couldn't help but, laugh to think how happy Grandma probably was, to not be torchered by my endless picture taking!
My cousins, Brian, Malinda,
Andrew and Marcia

Me and my handsome brothers....Chris and Greg
If anything, with losing my Grandma it brought us all together. All the cousins, (except Travis, who is on his mission.) were there. What beautiful,caring, young people they each are. I enjoyed each of them so much.
Natie joined me in Utah. I was glad she was wanting to come with me. I needed her so much. It was nice having just 1 kid to keep track of!
Me, Malinda and Marcia...(little did we know, there was actually 4 girls in the this picture! Marcia just found out she is having a GIRL!)
My 3 uncles~Doug, Ray & John, 3 Aunts~Nancy, Janet & Cindy and 1 Mom~Dixie. I couldn't help but, think about my grandparents watching over us and being so happy that we were all together. I know they worried about us losing touch, once they were gone. I'm glad we all talked about not letting that happen.

Julian and Hailee getting to know each other. Hailee enjoyed tasting Julian and wanted to get as close as she could to him.
Natalie loved helping and
always had opened arms.
