Happy Birthday Grandma Clark

To celebrate Grandma Clark's 86th birthday, we paid her our final respects. Grandma died on July 18th, just a few days before her birthday. What a better present than to be reunited with her Eternal companion and loving daughter. The funeral was nice and simple. Amy was asked to talk, she gave some nice memories from all the grandkids, and somehow managed her nerves. I was asked to give the closing prayer, which was a little emotional after the closing song "How Great Thou Art." The services at the cemetary were nice, all the great-grandchildren were given birthday balloons to release in the air. After her grave was dedicated, all of my immediate family made a short trip to Mom's headstone. It was good to be there, in that peaceful spot, as a family. The whole day was a celebration of Grandma, her life, and posterity - we even had birthay cake.
