My Grandmother's Funeral and Family Gathering

As sad as we were to see my grandmother pass away, I loved having my family here for the funeral. We had a blast together! All three of my brothers that were here stayed at my house for one night. We drove to my house in the Accent, which is a compact car, but felt like a clown car with all three of them in there. All three boys had to sleep on different beds, so we had one air mattress in our spare bedroom for Brad, one on the floor in our living room for Paul, and Adam slept on the couch. I don't think I've felt so short or crowded in our apartment before (and we've hosted 9 people for Thanksgiving!). To help you visualize what I mean, check out the family pictures. I am 5'7"-ish and the shortest of my siblings.

The funeral itself was very well-done. My uncle Tim gave the eulogy and it was great to hear so many happy and funny stories about my grandma.

The pallbearers bringing in the casket. There were so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren that there were more honorary pallbearers than real pallbearers.

My cousin, Mandy made these pins for all of the family members.

My dad and his siblings. The flowers in front of them on the casket had ribbons that said "Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great-grandmother".

My grandpa gave my dad the belt buckle I am wearing, and I asked my dad if I could have it. It is made of fossils.

Don't they look like bouncers?
