Today we attended the services for our cousin Judi Stevens Webster.As usual I have pictures in the reverse order that I want - and once again it's too late at night to fuss with changing it. So here we are, the "Clayton Contingent" who came for the service.
Mark, Judi's half-brother, and his wife also came.
After the graveside service at Rose Hills, the ward Relief Society did a little meal at the ward building. This shot is of Judi's family: her son and daughter, their spouses and children, and her husband Bob Webster. It was a nice opportunity to get to know family members we have only known peripherally.
This is Judi's son Greg and her daughter Laura. I look forward to staying in touch and getting to know them better.
Greg's wife had made a display of photos of Judi. I think this shot shows her resemblance to her father, Uncle Harry.
And Mother said she thought that in this one you could see a resemblance to Judi's mother Bernice.
Judi's grave is in a lovely spot overlooking a little lake.
Helen came to the service too.
Mother commented to several people there that, "I really wasn't expecting this." And I think it signals a particular recognition that we are indeed mortal. Those who die aren't always the "elderly." We do indeed need to treasure the moment and live in the present.
