Trip to Sevierville for Mamaw's funeral

Chad worked half a day on Wednesday and Sophie and I picked him up and headed to Sevierville to get to the funeral home just as the visitation started...the funeral followed. There were a lot of friends and family there to pay their respects and we appreciate all the prayers. 

Sophie got to see Mamaw Rhea "sleeping" and we told her she was with Jesus. Sophie definitely knows her and says her name often. I'm so glad we got to that point of recognition before she died. Sophie made a heart in Sunday School (with Nanny) that said "Sophie loves Mamaw Rhea." That was almost two weeks ago and she still says that she wants to make a heart for Mamaw Rhea when they start the project. 

We were able to visit with Aunt Joan and Big Dave before going out to our cabin to stay the night. Amber and her family stayed out there with us. It was hard to get the girls calmed down for bed since they were so excited to be together and in a new place. We went to the burial the next morning and then spent time at Aunt Pauline's before heading back to Murfreesboro. It was great to see family all together. Unfortunately, I still didn't have the camera back so I don't have any pictures from the trip. Not that a funeral is the best place to be snapping pictures, but it was a time that we were all together in one place.
