In Honor of Grandma June

My grandma June Cullimore passed away recently and we had the funeral. It was an amazing service. Grandma June is my (Derek's) dad's mom. I am happy that she is back home with grandpa and that she is also free of pain. We love her and miss her and honor her life! I always remember going to the farm and seeing the animals and playing marble games in their house. I remember the caramel popcorn that she made and the homemade ice cream. She always supported me in all of my various activities, we look forward to being with her again someday!
Here are some other pictures from the funeral and the week of activities that surrounded the funeral with family coming in to town from all over the country:
You will notice in a lot of these pictures how excited Grace is to be a big sister. Anytime Melinda was holding a niece or nephew, Grace was there wanting to help! This is Melinda with Grace and our niece Hanna Jensen at the luncheon.Here is my brother Brady, his wife Elizabeth and their daughter Sophie with Melinda and GraceFamily Picture from the luncheon

Sounds like you really loved your grandma.

It's funny to me that at Mormon funerals, there is always a family photo at the luncheon. At every family funeral I've been to, there is always a big group photo on the cultural hall stage.

Hope your dad is doing well and interesting to see your brother Brady for the first time...

He's like a tougher looking Derek... very interesting!
