Saying Goodbye

In January we attended 2 family funerals in one week. Nate's Grandpa Smith Broadbent passed in his sleep . (this is who we named our little Smith after) He was a Chemistry teacher at BYU and though he was retired he continued to do research and write papers for years afterward. At the luncheon after his funeral the ward decorated the tables with these centerpieces. I thought it was a very nice touch.

Nathan's Grandma "Needy" (Nate's Mom's Mom) passed away after a bad fall. She had lived in Utah for a long time before moving to Seattle with Nate's family. Nate's parents brought her back here to be buried beside her husband in Salem. We were also able to have a very beautiful service for the family here those that knew her when she lived here.
