Another Death in the Family

There was another death in the family. I was so shocking to hear. More because I didn't think that he would pass plus he wasn't that old. But I guess things happen for a reason. 

My (mom's) uncle died on Monday soon after going into a coma. Hours later after he went into a coma, he had a heart attack. He was just 68 years old. Most of the people in my mom's side of the family live every long lives...I guess Uncle Ralph wasn't supposed to. I always looked forward to seeing him and aunt Dorothy during the holidays. I love how they would always tease me and talk to me as if I matter a great deal. I helped out with the funeral a little bit. I put together some poems for Shantell for Ralph and Dorothy. Yes, I know that there is a spelling error but it's fine. Here are the pictures:

His funeral service was done by Wood's Funeral Home. I know the family a little bit and I am sure happy that my aunt decided to do it with them. Anyways, the services lasted two days. The viewing itself was the night before he was buried on Friday. The following morning, Saturday morning, we had the funeral services at the Wood's Funeral Homes on Elm St. It was pretty full. There were a lot of people standing in the back of the chapel. It was also pretty funny too. After the services, we found them up to Ririe-Shelton Cemetery where Great Grandpa and Grandma was buried. The Military Rites was performed by the Bonneville County Veterans Team.

I cried really hard in silence while we was at the burial site for him. I know that I will always miss him but now he is with Great Grandpa and Grandma along with Vera (my great aunt). I know he is happy now. 

And to top it all, the day Uncle Ralph got buried was my Mom's birthday. I've never seen her cried so hard during a funeral service besides Great Grandma.
