As many know, Paul's mom passed away last week. It was a sad, but good thing. She has suffered from Alzheimer's for the past 7 years. Before the disease she was an amazing woman. I always felt very luck to have her as my mother-in-law. I was lucky to grow up across the street from them, and to have know her my whole life. I am sad that my kids will never know the woman I knew and loved on this earth, but look forward to the day they will get to know her in the life here after. She was a fun lady, who knew how to have good time, and knew how to make people feel loved. We will miss her, but know that she will be more involved in our life now, then she has been in the past few years.
Diane's 6 kids and incredible husband Willard
The whole week was
such a wonderful week. I have been so blessed to get into a the most incredible family. I have the best sister-in-laws in the world! Monday we went to the funeral home an made all the preparation for the funeral. (Which I hope not to do again for a very, very long time!) Wednesday was the viewing, and Thursday was the funeral. It was such a nice service. Paul spoke and did an great job. Everyone who spoke did wonderful! I'm pretty sure Diane was happy with it. Friday night the boys and Willard all went golfing, and the girls had a GNO at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so fun. Saturday night we all headed up AF canyon for a picnic. The grandkids had fun playing while the adults chit chatted. It was a really nice week. We all enjoyed ourselves, and I'm pretty sure Diane enjoyed it all with us.
Finally posting a picture of Ellie's broken arm
I thought this was post worthy!
