I confess that it feels a little bit strange to take photographs at a funeral, and perhaps even stranger to post the photographs here on-line. But I felt it was important to document such a moment in our family's history; and I hope that others from the family might appreciate the opportunity to access these images, as well.

So far, it's been a beautiful remembrance of my grandmother's life. We had a family viewing yesterday in Cambridge, followed by a burial service in Long Prairie (which also happened to be my first time ever officiating a funeral).

After the burial service, we had a luncheon with friends and family from Long Prairie. Later today we will have the public memorial service in Cambridge, followed by another luncheon with friends and family from Cambridge.

A broader collection of photographs (from the funeral and from other family gatherings in Minnesota, over the past few days) can be viewed in the Family Pictures section of this website. And you can also access my Flickr Photograph Collection directly, for fully downloadable copies of the pictures I've been taking.

I'm really thankful for all the friends and family who have helped to honor Grandma's memory, here stateside, and also for all the friends and family who have been "holding down the fort" back in Amsterdam, so that I can be here with my family.
