We all flew back to Pennsylvania for GG Osborn's funeral in mid-October. While it was a sad occasion, it was nice to see so much of our family and to celebrate Grandma's long life together. While it was my mom's mom that had passed away, some of my dad's family also came to pay their respects, so we were able to catch up with them too.
One of the family members that came to the visitation and the funeral was my grandma's cousin, Sister Mildred Boeh. As you can see above, she is 102 and proud of it. She and my grandma still talked, via the computer, every Monday morning. It was really impressive to see how well they both adapted to new technology!
Here are all the cousins. We have quite a California contingent now. Danielle and her family, Kevin, Emily, and our family are all living in California now. Eric and Jo are in North Carolina, and Danny and Dean (who wasn't able to come) are in Texas.
Cecilia got my phone to take some selfies.
After the funeral, we took over tables in the lobby of the hotel most of the family was staying at to go through things from GG's apartment. We looked through and divvied up old photos, Christmas ornaments, crosses, jewelry, and of course, GG's Christmas sweaters.
Later, we went to dinner with Grammy, Paca, and Emily. We had to say goodbye to everyone there, as they were all leaving the next day and we were staying with Chad's grandparents.
