Trip to Saint George

Last weekend we went to Saint George to attend Aunt Zella's funeral. It was a lovely, bittersweet day. Summer and Rachel were able to help by playing the piano and all the children sang "I Love to See the Temple". Aunt Zella had worked for years in the St. George Temple, so it was appropriate. We were also able to go to Uncle Grant's viewing, but had to leave town before his funeral.

Aunt Zella was buried in the Cane Beds, AZ cemetery, not far from her (and Stan's mother's) childhood home.

I smooshed under an umbrella, but Stan was brave and got all wet.

After the burial, we drove to see some of Cane Beds. Here is the house Mother grew up in...

...and the one room schoolhouse where she went.

This is the house Stan's parents built (but never got to live in).

It was a beautiful place!
