Well funerals over, day started out cold and overcast, by the time we moved her body to the crematory it was beautiful outside. So it was a wonderful sendoff for her.

Thanks folks.

Man, she looks relatively young in the picture you posted. That's great. How was her health for the last 20 or so year of her life if you don't mind me asking?

I'll bet she had great stories.

My condolences, Ed.

Funny you say that, she was born in 1913 in malaysia, god knows what they were writing on back then. One of my cousins wrote her eulogy on her ipad2,lol

We had a big get together after the service, prob 100+ people
Then a few of my cousins and I got together, say 15 people, every 1 in that room was degreed, 4 DR's, 1 lawyer, everybody pretty successful in their fields, 6ipads (4 ipad2's) lol

Grandma did a great job of raising a family

When she was running from the japs, she had 8 kids in tow, left the 2 youngest behind, because they wouldn't have survived the trip.there's now a memorial now on that road got all the deaths of civilians and military on that road. The china-burma road.
