Grandma Slade

We had a bittersweet event this month. Ricky's grandma passed away. It was her time to go and we know she is in a better place. She will always be remembered and loved by us all. She has touched many people in her life. I learned a lot about her life from her funeral. She was definitely an amazing, strong woman. Because Ricky's brother works for the airline, Ricky and his family got free passes to fly out to New Mexico for the funeral. Thanks to my mom for watching Dylan, I was able to go with him. Since Lauren is still breastfeeding and free to fly, she tagged along with us. This was her first flight. She did really well. I nursed her on the take offs and landings, but other than that, she was good.
Ricky's mom had a good time with her brothers. This was the best shot we got of them!
Here are all of the great grandchildren that were able to be there for the funeral. There are many more that couldn't be there.
And here is the group shot. I only knew 11 of the people before this trip. The cousins came from Utah, California, and Arizona to be there. It was so nice to meet all of Ricky's family. They are amazing people.
