Hello and Happy Monday. I
hope you enjoyed that extra day off for those that had the day off. I have taken the last few days off of
blogging and have enjoyed spending time with my family and with Kenyon.
Grandma D was laid to rest on Friday. It was a very nice service with and included
a Catholic mass. She was buried at the
Melba cemetery, which is where both Grandma A and Grandpa Amos are buried. She was placed in the plot next to their
long-time Owyhee County neighbor and friend Dick Jayo, who passed away a few
months ago. It is always sad to say
goodbye to our loved ones.
There was a very fitting poem that was placed in the program. I wanted to share it here with you:
God saw she was
getting tired,
and a cure was
not to be,
so He put His
arms around her
and whispered, “Come
With Me.”
With tearful
eyes we watched her suffer,
and watched her
fade away.
Although we
loved her dearly,
we couldn’t
make her stay.
A golden heart
stopped beating,
hard working
hands put to rest,
God broke our
hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the
best!
Grandma and Grandpa had 65 years together. I posted the photo taken at their 60th
wedding anniversary on Facebook in honor of Valentine’s Day yesterday.
