This was such a great funeral. Grandma Ipson was turning 90 this month and the date of the funeral was the date of Grandma and Grandpa Ipson's wedding anniversary. It is very sweet. It was a great experience for our kids.
We stopped and explained to the kids how funerals work and what happens with our bodies and our spirits when we die. Samantha was in tears thinking about it. 
It was interesting to explain to not be afraid and it is okay to feel sad. It is an experience we have not had yet.When we said good-bye before they closed the casket, Samantha again was weeping and it was so sweet to see her recognition of death and to see my sweet Samantha is growing up.
I really enjoyed seeing Kevin's family together and to take pictures of his aunts and uncles with his mom. Seeing his great aunts Mary and Viola was really sweet too especially since we don't see them often and they send such great Christmas cards each year.

We missed getting to see everyone. Sorry to have not made it. Wade said it was a nice funeral, and so much family was there.
