The same night that we got back from Boise we received a phone call from my Dad. He let us know that my Grandmother had passed away a few minutes before. We knew that she was ill and could pass soon so it wasn't a shock, but we are very sad all the same. Grandma Jensen was the Grandmother I grew up with. Every Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas was spent at her house. I have numerous fond memories of playing in her home as a child and I will miss her very much. Her funeral was Thursday and so I made arrangements to head back to Boise for the services.
It was a very nice day. I enjoyed seeing all of my cousins from my father's side of the family. Here is my Dad and Grandpa Jensen visiting during the lunch after the services.

Lisa wanted us to all take a picture of all the siblings that were there. From left to right: Lisa, Mom, Me, Grandpa Jensen, Dar and Dad. Jared and Bill are down in front.

When I was growing up my Dad's cousin Debbie moved into Middleton where we grew up. Even though she was Dad's cousin, Debbie and I were the same age and we spent a lot of time together. I haven't seen her since high school and it was so fun to visit with her and catch up.

Thank you for all the wonderful holidays in your lovely home Grandma. I miss you a lot and will look forward to seeing you again someday.

I love the family picture! What happened to Heather? Too bad her and Michael couldn't make it.
