Honoring Grandma Loyal






We traveled back to Minnesota for Grandma Loyal's funeral last Saturday, and while it sounds odd to say this because of the reason we heeaded back, we had a nice time. It was good to see family and great Grandpa Earl was so excited to see Emmelyn, and the rest of his 17 (!) great grandchildren. We were in Mahnomen for services and later spent some time at Grandpa Earl's in Ulen. He told us many times how glad Grandma Loyal had been to make the girl's baptism in November, which reminded us how blessed we were to have her there. Her biggest worry had been not making it to meet Emmelyn and Tessa, Grandpa said. We were touched by that, and so glad we have the memories of Emmelyn meeting great Grandma Loyal.
