Although it was a hard trip to make it was great to see family. We just spent time sitting around the table that was the fashion at mom's house we always sat around the table and just hung out played games and visited. It was the last time we all will sit around the table at her house and visit. We even wore Lee out and he needed a little nap sitting by the table.

 The viewing was nice we were able to see lots of faces we have not seen in a long time. 

Lee's sisters did a wonderful job picking out all the things for Georgetta.  The coffin and flowers were beautiful.  This was the inside lid when anyone would leave her home the last thing you would see was Georgetta standing at the door waving bye several years ago she starting waving with the american sign language symbol for I love you.  

The funeral was beautiful.  Georgetta's daughters spoke and touched base on all the wonderful things that Georgetta did in her life but the best thing of all is tha love she gave to her family and everyone she met.  She was a shining star that everyone flocked to.  She was a woman of great faith and only wished the best for everyone around her.  

Lee did great throughout the ceremony, although a little weak on his feet we had wonderful help throughout our stay from our brother in laws and our nephews.  

Lee's siblings and spouses.

Lee wanted a new hat for the funeral but was not able to wear it at the grave side because of the wind.

Just a quick shot before we changed after the services.

We went on a walk, this was the walk that Georgetta always had the girls take her on.  Even when she was so sick she wanted to go walking.  It was not a short walk but it was good to get out and get so fresh air.
