I put together this magnet board to display at my Grandma's funeral, it turned out so cute! 
My Grandma's funeral was really nice. The program was really sweet, my Dad and his wife, Susan, spoke and were wonderful. And my sister, Katie, my cousin, Michelle, and I shared a few or our favorite memories and thoughts about Grandma.
I have to explain the gaping hole and the casket sitting on the ground- a very sad and very creepy event occur ed at the cemetery. A young women was killed there of Christmas Day. On the 26th, the man plowing the cemetery to prepare for the funeral found her. So the cemetery was turned into a crime scene. It was really creepy that something like that happened in Huntsville. They were not able to clear the cemetery in time for the mortuary to get everything ready for the burial. The hole was dug, but that was it. We were able to go in and dedicate the grave after the funeral but she wasn't able to be buried until the next day. It was a bit unsettling, but I was able to go back after she was buried and see her grave before we came home. So, besides that, everything went really well, as well as a funeral can. I will miss my Grandma so much and miss going to visit her in Huntsville, but I am so thankful that she is so happy now!

I had no idea that Grandma Allen passed away. She sure was one of the nicest ladies in the world.
