Grandma Clunas' Funeral

We left home on Thursday afternoon and arrived in Boise at Eva's house at about 9:00pm. Lynee arrived shortly before us. Then at 11:00 Darin, Tom and Dallas went to the airport to get David. We all got up at 5:30 am and we went to the gym to workout!! We are so good! Then we went home and got ready for our long (laugh till we die) trip to Oregon! We stopped at Multnomah Falls and climbed to the top. They said that it is only one mile but it was one heck of a hike!!! 2nd work out of the day. We arrived at Art and Arlene's house to a very warm greeting from Art, Arlene and Grandma Heckel. They all looked so good!! I am sure grandma was tired when we left.
We had a wonderful dinner and talked all evening. Grandma, Art and Arlene spent the next hour or more just talking about all kinds of things. We learned alot about Grandma and Art and DAD!!! They told us all kinds of stories and we were very blessed to be in their home!! We finally decided that we needed to get to bed. After a wonderful night sleep we had a great breakfast and Carol (Ruth and Richards daughter) ,Marcus and Rabecca (Arts son and his wife) joined us. We could have stayed all day!! It was so much fun seeing all of them especially skinny dad!

We then headed to the funeral. We arrived and it was great to see everyone. We saw Jack and Charlotte, Sam and Marilyn, Ben and Donna, Kay and her family, Karen and her family. We met Carols children and I can't believe it has been 14 years since she passed away, but her kids were together for the first time since then. The service was wonderful. Marilyn, Gary and Sam spoke. They also gave an open time for anyone to comment and that was great as well!! After it was nice to visit with everyone and then it was back in the burb for another long drive to Boise! It has been Awesome!!
