On August 16, 2013 my family gathered to celebrate the life of Gramma Rose and to have her ashes interned. A small service was held and the family made our way out to the cemetery. Although I thought it was going to be a very sad day, it was actually quite nice.
After the ceremony we had some fun, an Irish wake. Here are few of the photos:

Then, we had to recreate old family portraits.
