Graveside Tribute & Ceremony

Continuing the words from Janice (italicized) : We traveled to the Salt Lake Cemetery




17 Grandsons served as Pallbearers in honor of their Grandpa Tate.


**********************************
**********************************

Great Grandchildren check out the other family plots. Great Grandma Alice Minerva Tate Robinson and Great Grandpa George Lawrence Tate buried just east of their Grandpa Tate.

Great Granddaughters comfort Grandma.



Cousins gather to honor Grandpa.
******************************

Family Gather for the dedicatory prayer.









**********************************



Richard dedicated his Father's Grave



**********************************



Presentation of the American Flag because Dad was a World War II Veteran.


**********************************




Each of the Daughters and Granddaughters put a long stemmed red rose on their Grandpa's casket.



The sun shined warm and bright on this special day for dad and so it is for Mom with her daughters.


The Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Plan of Happiness makes days like this shine bright with hope and love for the future eternal reunion and life to come.




Family that's what it's all about. Her mom is surrounded by her 7 children, her great Tates.



When we went back to the church the Relief Society was in full swing. They had a luncheon for 100 people. The Elders set up tables and chairs.








The Bishop and Home Teacher were there with plans on how the ward is going to take care of Grandma.



I love being a member of this church. (And this family!)
