A Beautiful Memorial Service

My mother-in-law looked very nice and so at peace. It was a beautiful service.

The pastor was blessing. We all really liked him. He read numerous scriptures and he and his wife sang "The Old Rugged Cross", one of Mom's favorites.

The flowers were lovely and many people came to pay their respects. It was nice to see many relatives we haven't seen in years.

I was touched by the grandkids (Michelle's four children). The oldest, Nathan, really took care of his brother and sisters. They were all huddled together with his long arms around them and wept for the grandma they miss so much.

After the service we went to the Roadhouse for a meal. A covered pool table was loaded with food. I talked to quite a few relatives about the family tree I'm working on. Got lots of good information.

Later the kids came to the hotel to swim in the pool. Steve was sick (probably from the cigarette smoke at the Roadhouse) and stayed in our room. I enjoyed visiting with my sister-in-laws and all the kids.
