Weekend in Greensboro for Granny's Funeral

Micah's grandma, Granny, passed away this past week. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go back down to Greensboro, NC to attend her memorial service. The service took place in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. The service was interesting. They had almost the whole service written out in the program so that the guests could follow along and would also know when it was time to chime in.
The day was very rainy and dreary. It was raining especially hard at the beginning of the service when all of the family went out to the Urn Garden for a prayer ceremony. So many little kids and so few umbrellas....it was interesting, but we all made it through.
Our favorite part of the indoor ceremony was when Tom and Charles (Micah's uncles) took the opportunity to stand up and share memories of their mother that they hold dear to their hearts. It was very touching. Poppy was able to make it to the ceremony, and even though it was very hard for him (as is understandable, they were married for over 70 years) it was good to have him there.
