Craig's Aunt Lenna passed away last Sunday. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer last summer and had made the decision to not fight it. She felt that it was her time to go and was ready. She passed away with all her family around her very peacefully. Her funeral was beautiful. She had been a wonderful and kind person all her life. It was great to hear the different sweet stories and experiences that people shared about her. We had driven through a lot of rain to get to the funeral, but it was so neat that we got to see a rainbow! It felt like Lenna had brought the rainbow. I had only met her a few times, but she really was like an angel. She makes me want to be a better person. There was so much peace at the funeral. We know that she is at peace and very happy. I believe she is reunited with her husband who passed away 5 years ago which is a wonderful thought. They had been sealed in the Temple. The funeral made me feel so grateful for Christ and His atonement. How wonderful that He made it possible for us all to resurrect.
It was great spending the day with Craig's family. Here is a picture of Lenna's daughter, Cheri, her husband, Steve, her granddaughter, Christa, her great-grandaughters, Nicole and Heather, and her tiny great-great granddaughter, Alyssa! (Only three weeks old!)
This is Lenna's son Steve, his wife Becky, and their son Scott with our family last September.
This is from the last time we saw Lenna and this is right after the funeral-- each of the girls got to hold Alyssa.
