Another beloved member of our extended family has passed away. Janet and I were in Arizona last week to attend the funeral for my uncle, Kenny Keeth Gray, my mother's younger brother. I have many fond memories of Uncle Kenny and Aunt Hazel. They are together now and all seems right.
I snapped a few images at the graveside service. Here are some images of family:
Inette, Mike, Roxann, Cindy, Debra, Nancy, Janet and my aunt Nellie visit following the service.
Others seen in this next image include Bobby, Jimmy, Don and my uncle Jerry.
It was good to get many playmates from childhood together again. Jimmy, Bobby, John, Keeth, Don and Mike had a good time kidding one another about treasured memories.
Uncle Kenny was buried next to his wife, Hazel, who passed away a few years ago. Their marker sat waiting to identify their resting place.
Nearby sat the marker for Kenny's parents, my grandparents, Elmer and Ruby Gray.
It is good to share these moments of remembrance with my loving life partner. Janet and I have attended too many funerals lately, but in each case we did so arm-in-arm supporting one another. I am grateful to be loved by this beautiful woman, so attractive, capable, loving and wise.
