Just 2 days before we left for our summer trip we received word that Brian’s aunt Jeanine Thomas had passed away. We were so glad that we could go to the funeral and be supportive and how wonderful it was for Brian to see many of his cousins that we had not seen in about 9 years. It was a wonderful service and it was a pleasure to have been able to attend and hear the many wonderful things that she did throughout her life. She will be missed!
Kelsey and Spencer having not been raised in Utah and therefore away from their grandparents haven’t had the opportunity to see their grandfather at work in his profession. Yes, they had the opportunity to walk across the street to the mortuary and feed the fish and occasionally see the deceased in a casket, but not that often. It was so special for them to see their grandpa as he was in charge of his sister Jeanine’s funeral. Although, he was busy officiating, he took the time to explain to the kids what everything was and how her earthly body would be laid to rest in the ground. It was great to see him explain to his grandchildren what he has done hundreds of times over the course of his career. Here are a few pictures of the kids and Grandma and Grandpa from that day at the Orem cemetery.
