Special Family Time

Rachel sent me some pictures from the week that we gathered as a family to be with and remember my grandmother, Evie. It was really a special time. We were so blessed to be able to come together as a family to say good bye to dear Evie. Libby and Brian traveled all the way from Savannah twice, once to tell Evie they loved her and once again the next weekend for the funeral. Seeing them two weeks in a row was really great. Funerals are actually a weird mix of sadness, sorrow, and joy. It is fun to be around people you love and don't see very often. I guess that is part of the reason we have funerals. God gives us community to love one another and be with one another. Imagine how sad it would be to say good bye to someone if you were all alone. We really are blessed.
