Two months has passed since Granpa Brown passed away. I took some time out of my regular schedule to check out the pictures from his funeral and graveside, and realized how quickly time passes.... seems like these images came from just a few hours ago, definitely not a few months ago.

Here are some of my favorites:

The day of the funeral the weather was perfect, and that hardly ever happens in Wayne County - especially in March. So peaceful.

Mo took Granpa for his "last ride" to the cemetery. Of course the ride wouldn't have been complete without the "train horn" salute upon departure - what an amazing tribute to an amazing man.

The flowers - tons of flowers, were all gorgeous. This arrangement was a favorite and by far the most popular with the little ones who were completely envious of the dozer. Especially Ryland - he asked a dozen times (during the funeral, mind you) if he could just go up and get that dozer - really fast? Thanks to Aunt Nadine and family for this winner!

Albert, Michael (aka - my handsome Dad!), and Ellis.






And probably my most favorite of the day.... My Dad trying to explain to Kinley what's going on, and that Grandpa Great is in Heaven now. She's way too smart, and asks way too many questions for a two year old.
