A funeral and a festival

We said our last good-bye to a sister in our ward today. June was 77 years old. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor the same weekend President Hinckley died. Surgery and radiation bought her only a couple of months.
Jeff and Josh were her home teachers. Since June didn't have many family members in the area, it was mostly ward members who took care of the funeral. Jeff was asked to speak and dedicate the grave. He and Josh were also pallbearers. As you can imagine, it was an emotional day for Jeff. He's been a good home teacher to her and was able to give her a special blessing the night before she died, releasing her from life into her Heavenly Father's arms. He did a good job with his talk and the dedication.
I mentioned in my last post that Josh had been busy getting ready for a school film festival. Jeff and the kids were able to go to the high school last night and see all the entries. (I had church meetings in Salt Lake). They had a good time and saw Josh in a number of films. Josh's animated short, "The Chess Game," gets to go on to the state festival, as well as four other things he helped with. Go Josh!
