Monday, March 3, 2008 – Grandma’s Burial

We held a very private burial service at Hillcrest Memorial Park on Monday morning. It was absolutely gorgeous. The temperature actually got to the upper 60’s, the warm sun and the birds singing made it feel like spring had actually arrived. What a blessing to have such perfect weather to enjoy.
The view from the top of the cemetary, where Grandma and Pap are buried. This looks out toward Interstate 68 going east towards Rocky Gap.


Pastor Hollis shared some brief thoughts with us.
We all sang Amazing Grace
Daddy placed Grandma’s urn in the ground carefully. He was the one to always help her in and out of the car, the house, wherever and he was the one to gently lay her to rest. She jokingly called him her “favorite son”.

Aunt Judy and Daddy
We left the cemetary and had lunch together at Puccini's.
We had our own private room where we could enjoy swapping lots of memories and stories. Somehow we got divided my age. This is the "young people table".
and this is the "old people table" - don't know why Amy is sitting with them. Probably because they wanted the baby!
