Memorial events this year were filled with value. Here's Jim and Maudie Mae Bradley at their home after our travels of the day. It was great that Grandmother could be with us.
Mama and I are decorating Daddy's grave at Ogden City Cemetery. There are a few more spots here for family members, but I'd just as soon nobody used them right now!
This is the home that Brent grew up in as a little boy. The address is on the SW corner of Orchard and 2oth Street in Ogden, just across from the cemetery.
Brent points to the place where he got his bum stuck in a gas meter as a boy. How tramatic! It's funny what we remember all these years. Note how close the home is to the cemetery.
This is along the side of the home. Note the rear door. That's where Grandmother and Aunt Clara lived for a time as young girls while Grandma Hull was working in SLC. Those were hards times for that family, but it was a blessing to those girls to stay with LoReen and Van Heninger, who were young marrieds at that time in the early 30's. They gave them stability while Grandma Hull worked six days a week at many odd jobs, and Grandpa, John Henry Hull, was sick in the hospital in Provo.
Mama and Dad had a good time with each of their families that day.
We're decorating Van and LoReen's gravesite. Boy, we certainly miss their fun times and positive ways! They left a beautiful legacy of faith and love that I will always remember and cherish.
Lots of relatives came this year to decorate their graves.
We also remember Faralee Heninger Shupe who is also buried there.
Mama pauses to remember Daddy. He died December 24, 1987, when he was 80 years old.
Uncle Lindy was given a special stone by the families. It says, "He blessed our lives." Uncle Lindy died May 4, 2001. We were blessed to have him live with us for 10 years.
It was cloudy and rainy most of the day, but when it was time to take pictures, the sun came out and it was bright and beautiful! It makes me very happy to remember our dead and the good things that they did. WE CELEBRATE THEIR LIVES!

Hi mom, very nice post. I haven't been to that cemetery for several years. I have so many relatives buried there. Just curious, has anyone noticed that Faralee's name is spelled wrong on her headstone??
How awful!
Still waiting on the post with pictures of my kids and you when you visited on Ian's birthday!!!
