This past week Aunt Virgina Bingham passed away. When I retired one of my goals was to make some of the funerals that I could not make when I was working. So Tuesday Morning I drove to Burley for a graveside service of Aunt Virginia. She was the wife of my mother's brother Woodrow. Then I went to Twin Falls for the luncheon at the Church.
The pictures above and below are of the Headstone for Grandma and Grandpa Bingham. As you can see Grandma passed away in March of 1975 and Grandpa about 9 months later in 1976. As I remember that was a tough 9 months after he lost Grandma.
Uncle Woodrow and Aunt Virginia's headstone is just accross the road from Grandma and Grandpa's. It has to be hard to live another 40 years after your beloved has gone.
It was a sunny 45 degree day with no wind. The service was nice.
I was nice to visit with family at the church. Below are Aunt Barbara with one of her daughters and Uncle Lynn.
Pat and Lee are at this table.
Dee is sitting at this table.
I feel bad that it has been so long since I have seen these people. It has been over 30 years for many of them.
So many years ago when we were kids and the cousins our age were friends. Such fond memories of Dee and Lee, Lynne and Greg, Larry and Randy, Elaine and Ron. It is too bad when we grow up and have our own families and get too busy to renew those friendships. Our kids don't even know the Bingham family.
Such a great heritage from two great people "Charles and Myrtle".
