Dave's Funeral

Steven, Jeanne, Brian and Norma drove over to the funeral in Vernal.  Norma said that when Jeanne viewed Dave she said, "That looks just like my Dad."  And she said he really did.  He probably had lost weight and his face was thinner.


After talking to Charm for a month almost every day I finally get to see her.  She is the one in the dark blue and pearls.  She is the wife of Lance,  the son of Dorothy's little brother Jimmy.  Shaunie, in the light hair, is Lance's little sister and she lives in Salt Lake City and her husband is an attorney.  
I think it was June 23 when Dave was found with a heartbeat of 22 and taken to the hospital by his friend Jake.  The niece and nephew were called.  They have been up there a lot this past spring celebrating Dave's birthday and their wedding anniversary and recently they came up to help them set all their patio furniture out for the summer.  Dave and Dorothy have been very good to them over the years and they love them dearly.  So after they were called some or all of them have been at the home for the last month.  

Jeanne, Norma, and Brian,  all remarked how beautiful and kind everyone was to them at the services and lunch. Jeanne said they all seemed so happy.  Dorothy will be living in a senior care home in Vernal.  A lot of other decisions will need to be made and they will be the ones that will have to make them.  


Jeanne said Dorothy knew who she was immediately and they talked.


Brian gave the Family Prayer before the service and Steven gave the eulogy.  One of the niece's read Carole's message, two nephews spoke and Dave's friend Jake.



Jeanne was impressed with the beautiful day and the fluffy clouds.  Norma explained to me that it was up on a hill so when you looked out the fluffy clouds is what you see.


Lance gave the prayer at the grave but I am not sure if that is him or not.
