Precious Family

This past weekend was a happy and sad time for me. Happy because I was able to see ALL of my siblings and their spouses and spend a short but wonderful time with them as well as see all but one of my Gabrielsen Cousins! Sad because what brought us together was Uncle Alvin's viewing and graveside service.

The viewing in Ogden was truly like a joyous family reunion as we hugged and spoke with all aunts, uncles and cousins. Then, after the viewing all my siblings and spouses gathered for a quick bite to eat and a short meeting together.

Saturday morning found us at the Logan Cemetery to pay our last respects to Uncle Alvin. It was a short but tender service with military honors and an outstanding talk by my cousin Ellen and dedication of the grave by my cousin Evan. What a wonderful family I am privileged to be a part of! They are truly precious to me!

ALL siblings and spouses!
