This month has been a hard one for the Higginson family. We were sad to hear the news that Tyler's cousin Derrik had passed away. Then the sadness continued when about a week later Grandma Higginson had a stroke that placed her in the hospital. Everyone sort of knew that this would be it for Grandma so the family all got together to see her at the hospital for one last time on this earth. It was hard to see her the way that she was but we were all so grateful that we at least got to say goodbye.
Her funeral was absolutely perfect- just the way we think she would have wanted it. Ty's cousin, Ian read a poem first.
Then Ty had the honor to speak about Grandma's life. I was so grateful that he had this opportunity because, as he was researching everything about her, we learned a lot more about grandma that we hadn't known before. She was a hard working lady!
Then grandma's sister, Shirlene, spoke. She is one spunky lady and had us all laughing about the life grandma lived.
And, lastly, Ty's cousin Chris spoke about what a day with grandma was like.
Then Larry thanked everyone for coming...
and all of grandma's grandchildren walked her casket out.
After the funeral there was a lunch provided at Grandma's favorite restaurant. It's not a family event without getting a picture of all the Higginson brothers together :)
We are so grateful for Grandma Higginson. She was always an entertaining individual to go and visit. She knew everything that was going on with everybody and was always so proud of her family. I am so glad that Milo was able to meet grandma before she passed, but I am even more grateful that we know we will be able to see her again. We love you Grandma!
