Last month, Matt's grandmother died after years of battling Alzheimers disease. I was having a difficult time bridging the gap between major life events and the flip attitude a blog often conveys. After multiple attempts scanning in an obituary of Eldene and never succeeding, I gave up. There was a beautiful memorial service in Lincoln NE that included many photos and video tape of the last recital Eldene performed in. Of all the funerals I attended, I thought it was the best representation of a person's life portrayed in a honest and memorable way. At the funeral we had the chance to re-connect with two of John's cousin's and his Uncle, who were really amazing people! Thankfully we had plenty of time to get to know each other and plan future events. Matt's brother, Andy, was also able to fly in from Maine for the funeral and spent some quick quality time with us.
