Today was Grandma Lyn's funeral. We went to SLC last night for the viewing, and today was the funeral. Uncle Hank was one of the speakers and recounted memories shared by some of the Taylors. President Monson popped in at the last second and made some very nice remarks about the Taylors and Ethelyn. After the funeral we dashed to her apartment on 2nd Avenue to bring out some of the things she had designated for HDT family. We now have a beautiful painting of Timp that hung in their place. It looks great in our room and was a nice surprise. I also found my old world globe that I received as a Christmas present in LA as little lad. After the dedication of the grave many of the HDT family headed to La Casita for a late lunch. All in all it has been a nice couple of days remembering what a great lady Ethelyn is.

I am very sad to have missed it. You'll have to call me and tell me some of the rememberances.
(And do you think if Monson knew what apostates we all are he would have had such nice things to say :)
After a long and full life, funerals can be a sweet time with family and memories. Looks like Grandma Lyn's was such an occasion.
Really sad I could not be there! Looks like a nice event!
