A little tribute



Here is a five generation picture of my Great-Grandma Brown, my Grandma Bagley, My Dad, Me and Grady. This last week my Great-Grandma Brown past away.

We went to the funeral on Saturday and it was beautiful. So much postarity has come from such a wonderful lady. She was in her nineties, so it was more of a blessing to have her go, now she can be with the love of her life, whom she had to spend the past thirty years without.

She was such a great support to me and all the family, helping the boys who went on missions, and attending school functions. We always got a dollar and a card for our birthday, with 51 grandchildren, 114 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren, I know that wasn't easy.

She attended church every Sunday until it was too hard for her to get out of the house, and even then she still made sure she had a valid temple recommend.

From her I have learned how important family and the gospel are. I will miss her and know that she is still supporting me from the other side.

That is neat that you have that picture with her! She sounds like a wonderful lady. My great grandma just passed away not too long ago as well, and I was so grateful Adeline was able to meet her and to get some pictures.

You've very lucky to have gotten a generations pic like that... I was able to get a 4 generation pic of me, Coen, my dad, and my grandpa... 3 weeks later he passed away... and he's now with the love of his life... who he spent 7 years without, I cannot imagine spending 30...

Mom told me about her passing. What a special lady, and yes, she has some awesome posterity! Hear ing of her passing made me realize that that generation is pretty much gone from Koosharem. I love the five generation picture!

Sorry about your Grandma. She does sound like an awesome lady. That's awesome you got that picture with her. I liked the pinata you made. Looks like you took some skills with you from Mr. Larsen's class!

Your Grandma was amazing. I remember when I got in that car accident, she sent me a card with $5. What a wonderful life she lived! A good example to us all.
