Grandma Langston funeral

We lost Jim's Grandma Langston this week. She died on August 16 ~ she wanted to make 90 years in 5 months, but couldn't hang on. This was one of those good funerals ~ she had been wanting to go. Her health was failing, but her mind was healthy until just the last few weeks. She had her services all planned ~ we just were able to spend most of the week together and celebrate her life. Here are a few photos:

The first photo is of the casket and the VFW auxiliary flag, the second of her six grandsons as pallbearers, and the third is of the little girls in the family ~ yes Mara, you are still one of the little girls until you graduate. The last picture is all 7 of Roylene's (jim's mom) kids. It has been quite a few years since they have all been able to be together. She outlived most she knew and was the last grandparent for Jim & I. I guess we are getting old and will be the grandparents before we know it.
