Grandmother's Passing

Three weeks ago my Grandma Ivins passed away. It was very sudden and unexpected but we were grateful that she went quickly and was able to live her life right up to the minute of her passing. She was a wonderful person and I was extremely close to her. Her passing was difficult because of how much we relied on Grandma Ivins to always be there for our family. She was the center of our family and she will be missed.



Even though her passing was sudden, David and I were fortunate enough to be able to get off work, get a last minute flight, and fly to Utah for the funeral.


We were able to walk through her home one last time as a family. It was bitter-sweet with all the memories that are present there.



It was fun to see all of the family together. At the funeral it was mentioned that Grandma Ivins had 147 progenitors. WE LOVE OUR FAMILY! I loved growing up with a support system that was so large and loving.



Here's a picture at the luncheon of me with the cousins that are my age: Sydney, Nick, and Nicole.
Here's some pictures from the graveside service.
