Hair Family News

So I thought it would be important to capture some moments that others may want to see.
Mom asked me to take some photos before the family prayer and I am in Awe of the amazing beautiful family we have. You are all a gift from heaven and Dad knows each of you by name.




I will give you a little insight into what the timeline was like. Also, photos and thoughts of each of the family members I talked to. It may not be 100% correct but I will need to write it down.

Dad passed away July 24th 2019 suddenly. When we got the call all those who could come came immediately. As we got there the police were there and they were doing all the things they need to.

 Bob and Moroni came to give dad a blessing. As talking to Moroni, he said in his mind everything that dad said was telling him Dad was having a heart attack. As he thought and when he gave him the blessing. (In my words.. He was told no just wait.) So they gave him a blessing and left. When Moroni got home he got a call that dad was gone.

Alma said Roselle and he had just gotten there after dad passed away. Mom told them I think dad is gone. He was. It was a shock to us all. As the family gathered they spoke about what had transpired and tried to support each other as best could be. It was wonderful to say the least.

Elizabeth and Frank were on their way to see Emily their daughter and in SL they were suppose to leave the night before but Liz got sick. So they had made it to SL when they got the call and turned around and came home.

 

 The family gathered and helped mom get things in order as to everything. Its shocking to say the least. The family all pitched in and answered questions, called people and helped arrange all the details for a funeral and get mom situated with what was needing to be done.

I felt like I needed to go out away from the family to just ponder and get some inspiration or just try to wrap my mind around what had happened. I sat on the porch and Enoch and Miriam were there. My son and daughter in law. He gave me a hug and sat there with me for a while.

Joan Melville Washburn brought over rolls, meat and cheese and food for the family. Bob and Maria also went and bought food and brought it for everyone to eat.

 Becky Miller offered to do all the flowers for the funeral and they were just so beautiful!

At the viewing on Sunday night and funeral there were so many people I could not even believe how many people came. I got some photographs of some of them.

The Family Prayer was done in the chapel and mom asked me to take pictures before the prayer was said and while everyone was gathering.

OK I have combined photos because this isnt working very well. Here are some from the entire time from July 24 on.
