Grandma's Funeral

Before we left for Park City, we received word that my dear Grandma Harris had passed away at the age of 77.  This is the first relative that I have had pass that I have been really close to and it has been an adjustment.  I find myself thinking of her often, especially when I come across a gift she had given my children or a photo of her.  It was a privilege to speak at her funeral.  Some of my favorite memories of my grandma are:

• Going to eat giant Mickey Mouse pancakes at Flaggs West in Downey, Idaho in the old Ram Charger  and then going for long drives up the canyon
• Going lingerie shopping before my wedding (she insisted that she was coming along! :)
• Her excitement and support of everything that we did: being at my high school and college graduations, being at the temple even though she couldn't go in on the day of my wedding
• Her love of Tasmanian Devils (the cartoon ones)
• Her love of animals

My grandmother loved the color purple and owned lots of clothing in that color.  They found her this beautiful lavender casket topped with purple roses:
