Grandma Bradbury's Funeral September 2014

My Grandma Bradbury (My Dad's Mom) passed away at the end of September 2014. She had been having a lot of back issues and had recently had a back surgery and she kept telling people she was just tired of being in pain so we were happy for her that her pain could be relieved, however it still came as a shock as she seemed so healthy in other ways! I am so grateful for this time we've lived in California because it's allowed us to see my Grandma at least once a year if not more for the last 5 years as we travel right through St. George where she was living on our way to see Family in Utah. My girls have made memories with her that they and I will always cherish. She was such an amazing lady with such strength and energy and a desire to learn and grow. I always loved talking to her because she never seemed to forget what it was like to be at my stage of life. She was also so supportive of all my efforts at being a wife and Mom and would always give me encouragement and tell me what a good job I was doing. Even when she started to slow down she would drive over in her own car to my Aunts House in St. George to come see us as we passed through St. George and even if the visit was only an hour long she would be dressed to the nines to come see us. It was just her way... always Glamourous. Getting to be at her funeral with all of my siblings and my Dad was such a treat a special memory for me. I ended up flying into Salt Lake,  and then I drove with ALL of my sisters to St. George. Four hours in the car together without any children was like taking a step back in time and such a blissful moment. On the way home my brother joined us and all 5 of us siblings drove together back to Salt Lake... such a happy memory for me and I can't remember the last time we were in that situation...maybe a family road trip growing up?!
