We took a quick trip to St. George, to say good-bye to Grandma Mike.
She passed away 6 days later on October 18th with my mom and Aunt Joann at her bed side.
She was 89 years old, which was the same age her mother, Alta Cooper was when she died.
At the funeral on Oct. 24, 2015 at Forest Lawn in Cypress, CA.
With all 4 of her children.
My mom, Jim, Janet and Joann.
Grandma died on a Sunday.
I was in sacrament meeting when my sister left the message on my phone telling me that she had passed away. The closing hymn was I Believe in Christ.
Later that day I was talking to my mom and we were trying to think of the song she always wanted Rebecca to sing at her funeral. My mom said, "Oh I know, it's I Believe in Christ. but it's too long so we'll have her sing this other song instead." I said, "Mom that was the song that we sang in sacrament meeting really close to the time grandma passed away. Rebecca needs to sing that song!"
So, Rebecca sang "I Believe in Christ" at her funeral.

A few pics. of Grandma Mike.
I love the pic. on the right with Daisy and Grandma.
Daisy loved her Great Grandma Mike!
Grandma Mike's real name is Marian Giles Michaelson.
She was also a twin and so we named Daisy, Daisy Marian after Grandma.
