My Grandma Barker died 2 days after Mackay was born. We were sad to have her leave us, but glad she is out of pain. My Grandma Barker is my mom’s mother. She is one of those amazing people. She had 8 children. She was a great mom and I always loved hearing about all of her stories and traditions. She was a super hard worker. My Grandma is one of the toughest people I know, she has battled cancer several times through out her life. The cancer finally won and was everywhere in her body. I will never forget:
My Grandma’s French braids that were so tight my eyes looked Chinese.
My Grandma’s great example spiritually. No matter what life threw at her she always had a strong testimony of the church.
My Grandma’s love for her family. I loved all of our family parties and get togethers.
Making scones with my Grandma.
My Grandma kept everything I gave her. I loved going to her house and seeing all of my pictures all over her house. She also framed a poem I wrote in 7th grade and hung in the hall of her home.
I always knew my Grandma Loved me!! She had 28 Grandchildren and 17 Great grandchildren and each one of were special.
I love you Grandma!! I am glad you are no longer in pain and with Grandpa.
My Mom gave a beautiful talk at the funeral. Matt and Scooter were Pal Bearers and Scooter dedicated the grave.

I love that you wrote down all the things you loved about grandma what an amazing way to remember her! Sorry she is gone but happy she is not in pain.
What a beautiful post about your grandma. I'm sure she was the best grandma anyone could have. So sorry to hear that she is no longer here but happy to know that she is reunited with her husband and loved ones that have passed. She truly has left a great legacy!
It looks like it was a beautiful service. I wish we could have been there. I loved what you wrote about Grandma Jean....I admired her alot as well.
We loved your pics of the halloween costumes! SO cute...love the kangaroo pouch and Buzz. Can't believe you actually got Mason to do that! Awesome :-)
I'm sorry about your Grandma. I bumped into your mom & sister the other day and they told me that she died. I was going to call you but now since you blogged about it I'll tell you my sympathies here. You're in my prayers.
