On Thursday, we attended Nathaniel's Grandma's Funeral! She was 83 years old and she passed away on Easter Sunday. She lived in Hurricane on a Peach Farm with her husband. Today I learned a bit more about her. I learned that she was engaged at age 16, then her future husband, Nathaniel's Grandpa, went off too war. The Grandpa learned to cut hair during the war, so soldiers would always come to him for a haircut and give him tips. He saved the money and mailed it home in any paper he could find, which was usually from the mess hall. It was funny to know that when Nathaniel's Grandma would take it too the bank that all the teller's went on break because no one wanted to count the money because it smelt sooooo bad! (From the paper from the mess hall!) Anyway, it was a pretty good funeral- it only lasted about 30 minutes- perfect length!

SOUNDS LIKE SHE WAS A WONDERFUL LADY I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
Cute story about Grandma! Its amazing what we learn about Grandparents. My Grandpa was a Principal for 30 years and I learned he drove a hot rod and use to "gas skip" at the gas stations with his friends. Plus he named my mom after his ex girlfriend he met in World War 2 over in Germany LOL!! crazy I tell you.
Good picture of her
