May 15th, was a Happy, yet sad time for our family. It was a Happy Time because Karmindy turned 4 today, but sad because it was also the day that we had to bury Grandma Stewart (Mark's grandma). We didn't have much time to do anything to celebrate Karmindy's birthday in the morning because after waking up we immediately had to start getting ready for the funeral and to allow ourselves enough time to get up to Roy, Utah (an hour away). After we ate a quick breakfast, we headed to the funeral. When we arrived we were able to visit with family and got to see Grandma one last time and say our good byes. She was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. I have fond memories of Grandma because she truly got to know me when Mark and I were dating and got married. I always felt like she made a sincere effort to really visit with me and make me feel apart of the family. I have always appreciated her kindness, warmth and compassion and will forever be grateful to her. Mark and I both will remember her spunkiness and quick whit. She was a really intelligent lady and we have both learned a lot from her. We enjoyed visiting with her whenever she would either spend the summers in St. George or at her cute home in Roy. Kaleb also like to visit her home and check out her bird feeder out back and loved when Grandma would give him treats or little trinkets. We have some very fond memories of her and she will forever be in our hearts.
Mark was asked to share a few feelings/memories about his grandmother during the funeral and he did a fantastic job. He wrote her a nice letter that he had written and talked about the special memories that he and his brothers/sister had with their grandparents. Mark also shared the loved and appreciation that us daughter in laws and son in law had for her. She was a really neat Lady and will be missed. Thanks Grandma for your example, love and kindness! You truly were a wonderful lady!!
