These pictures are out of order but my grandma smith's funeral was beautiful and all of my wonderful memories of her were flooding my mind this week. I went to my mom's house a couple days before the funeral so I could help with anything that needed to be done and so I could have time to myself to mourn before the whole family got there. The first time I went into her house I started bawling. She was my closest grandparent and I love her so much and the legacy she left me. She always talked of her family history and would show me all her old pictures and antiques, I give credit to her for giving me that passion and love for history and old things. I have an old soul in a young body:)

The day before the viewing I took Mya over to grandmas to get some pictures of her in her old dress that she wore in 1927 when she was only 5! she kept that dress for all these years and it is BEAUTIFUL! it was hand sewn by my grandma's aunt whom she was named after, Franta. When we were walking through the door mya yells, "knock, knock!" like we always do when we go over there. Then after mya walks to the living room, where gma is usually sitting, she looks at me and shrugs her shoulders and brings her hands up and says, "where'd dama doe?" I started to tear up and I tell her she is in Heaven with Jesus. She looked a little confused but she is only 2 so I didn't want to go into detail.
