Jean Danvers Griffith

The funeral was yesterday, and it was beautiful.  I didn't know Grandma Griffith as well as i wish i had known her, but from the couple times that i did get to see her she was the most loving and sweet lady.  All of the talks were great, it made me realize how perfect she really was.  All the grand kids shared some funny stories, and it was really fun to all be together for Grandma.
Ryan and Grandma share the same birthday, January 28th.  So, Ryan told a story that had happened this past january on their birthday.  A tradition in our family on birthday's is to go around the table and tell one thing we really like about that person.  While going around the table everyone couldn't say enough about how wonderful grandma was, and then when they would get to ryan they would stall and say "Ryan is funny".   This just showed how many good qualities that grandma griff had you just can't cover them all!
We are so lucky to have such great brother and sisters- in - laws. We all get along so well, i hope we never live too far away from each other.
Grandma's casket was really pretty, and so were the flowers.  She was buried right next to her husband in the Ogden cemetery.

All the boys with their dad at the burial site.
All of the grandkids and their spouses.  We all really enjoyed being together, and I got to meet a lot of the family that I had never met before.  Afterward we all went to Karen and Ron's house for dinner and fun, luckily Ryan and I got off work last minute so we could spend more time with the family.

We love you Grandma Griff!

That was a very nice tribute to Ryan's grandma and their fine family. We always enjoyed Grandma Griff as a very loving person. We really enjoy your pictures and comments.
