It was such a blessing that she passed but still carried a lot of heartache and a big loss for our family. Grandma Reimann was kind, loving and genuine. She always made me feel loved and welcome.
I drove down from Logan on Friday afternoon. I met my Aunt Kristi, Uncle Bret, and my mom at the Funeral home. I had the privilege of helping dress grandma in her temple clothes. It was an amazing and tender moment that I will never forget. We shed a lot of good tears. Aunt Kristi let me pick out her earnings and help with her make-up. She looked so beautiful and peaceful.
I didn't want to take my kids to both viewings so my dear friend Annie took our kids on Friday night. They had so much fun. (Thank you Annie!!! You are a lifesaver!!!)
Friday night after the viewing we met up with almost all the Reimanns at the Pie Pizzaria. We laughed and had a good time remembering all the good times with Grandma.
Saturday morning we all met again for another viewing.
My kids were so good. I couldn't have asked for better.
The funeral service was beautiful and captured my grandma so perfect.
Cute little Tater Tot. We all fought to hold her.
What fine men
Some of the older grandsons were the pallbearers.
The grandsons put their boutineer on the casket.
All the granddaughters put a flower on the casket. It was really sweet.
Don and Virgingia's children.
Bret, Mark, Kurt, John, Kristi, Rex, Ryan, Gary, Bret
My family
I just love Aunt Kristi. There is such a strong bond between the oldest granddaughter and the only Aunt.
After the graveside we had lunch at the church. There were pictures of my Grandma on every table and Cummings Rum chocolates everywhere. They also had a huge cooler of Dr. Pepper for everyone. My Grandma always had chocolate and Dr.Pepper. I even let my kids drink the soda.
I will sorely miss my Grandma Reimann. She has a beautiful heart and soul. I was privileged to grow up with her in my life. She made life magical. I am happy she is with grandpa and released from her frail mortal body. Till we meet again.
