Grandma Carlsen's funeral

My dad's mom passed away this last Tuesday.  I have good memories of my grandma. Picking raspberries in her patch and then eating a huge bowl with cream and sugar after.  Eating homemade fruit leather out of the freezer in her garage.  Playing volleyball with cousins in her backyard.  As an adult she taught me how to do genealogy.  I took a trip up and tried to learn everything in two hours--at least I have a starting point.  She left a legacy of hard work and the importance of genealogy. She had cancer and was in a lot of pain, so it was a good thing she got to leave this world and see her husband.
