Grandma Klassen funeral - October 2010

We had an unexpected visit to Mt. Lake, MN in October after my last living grandparent passed away. It was a challenge for Elise to understand all that was happening, but in her 3 year old mind she grasped some things...and surprisingly after we got home from the trip she wanted to play funeral, which helped her understand.

We gathered as an extended family with balloons & listened to the Vince Gill song, "Go rest high on that Mountain" to remember Grandma Klassen
