photos from franklin

As I mentioned in a previous post, my mom was buried in the Franklin, Idaho Cemetery on February 18th. I didn't even think to grab my camera that day, so I just "stole" these photos from my brother(s) and niece, I believe.

My parents, in their planning ahead, bought their headstone this last fall. I actually went to look at it with my mom when I was in Utah last October. The death date will be added soon:

This is the headstone for Ty, a full-term stillborn, that my mom is now by (he would have been two years younger than I am):

My mother's parents:




The kids walked around the cold cemetery as they waited for everyone to arrive:


(This photo of Burke was clearly taken by a cousin and not his mom or dad--that smile!)

My dad arriving with his sister, Sandie, my mother's sister Pat, and
my cousins, Bob and Jackie:

I LOVE this one of my Dad and niece McKaylynn. So sweet:

Liv found these silk flowers in some drawer at my mom's house.
We decided to leave them at Ty's grave:


Grandpa and my niece Taylor:
My sister's cute (and growing!) family; Jamie, Amanda, Mindy, Alex, David, Samantha, Kevin, and Melanie. They had found out the night before that Alex got in to BYU. Way to go, Alex! All of the "Linton" kids will be in Utah this fall:

Love you, Tams. (And your dad looks so handsome in that type of hat!)

I know, right? My mom loved my dad in a cap.
