December 13, 1929 - March 21, 2009
Last Saturday morning my mom called to tell me that Grandma Christiansen had passed away. So I spent my spring break in Utah going to a funeral. She's been really sick so it's good to know that she's not suffering anymore, but we will all miss her.
I was doing fine at the funeral until they told us to say our last farewells and I saw my grandpa bend over and kiss grandma in her coffin. Then I started to cry. It's going to be hard for grandpa after being with her for so many years.

Placing their flowers on the casket. You can kind of see everyone packed into the little tent. It was FREEZING and the wind was blowing REALLY hard.

You got some good pictures!
Mary Ann, I was going to say that exact same line. That is so funny. I do wish I had taken more pictures.
I was going to say the exact same thing! Ha ha. It's fun to see the pictures.
I have some more - not a ton, but do you want them?
I posted some as well. Believe it or not I updated!
I just noticed you spelled Grandma's name wrong. Mariam is the correct way. FYI
