On Friday night, my grandma Barton (Madge) passed away. It was kind of sudden. Allyson and I flew out to Utah on Wednesday morning with my brother and sister and neice, Audrey. I brought Allyson since she was free on the plane and it would be easier for Mike to find someone to be with Emily. My grandma was a funny lady. I remember playing Skip-Bo with her and she would swear every once in a while and for some reason, it was hilarious. She loved everyone and from the amount of people that came to the viewing, she was very loved and adored. She worked for the school district there for 34 years and continued to volunteer for the following 10 years! She was so fun and lovely and we will miss her dearly. On Wednesday night, we had the viewing. My mom said every time she would visit she would tell her that she wanted to have a viewing so everyone could see how beautiful she looked. We did that and although she didn't look quite the same without that glow, she looked beautiful. The next morning we had a graveside service for her and all she wanted was for some of her grandchildren to sing a primary song. We sang My Heavenly Father Loves Me.
All the cousins minus one.
Brady, Kelsey and I by Bryan's grave. He would be 26.

She sounds like a neat (and fun) lady. That is smart to take the free child on the plane! I'm sorry she passed...beautiful pictures.
