Grandpa’s funeral was on October 23, 2010
This was a very hard day for me, because I hadn’t lost some close to me since I was 12 years old. When you are young you don’t understand it as you do as an adult. So I had a really hard time. My Grandma asked me to be in charge of all the Grandkids to sing a song so I choose Be Still Me Soul. I was fine singing the song until I looked down at my mom and saw her crying and then I couldn’t help but to cry.
The last song sung was God Be With You Till We Met Again. I just balled thro the song will the rest of the family laughed thru it. You see My Aunt and Uncle up words to it and named it Bob be with you till we eat again. And they sang it to him at the family reunion in July. I couldn’t be at the reunion so I hadn’t heard it. But heard the song a few week later and could understand why they wasn’t sad while we were singing it.
At the cemetery it just pouring rain. So we didn’t stay long. The funeral was in American Fork and he was buried in the Salem Cemetery, then the lunch-in was back in American fork. This was a very long and emotional day. Gone by 8:00am home after 8:00pm.

12 Wedding Anniversary
Randy and I celebrated a 12th wedding Anniversary. He wanted to take me to the Shakespearian Festival in Cedar City, but for some reason I didn't want to go, and I have wanted to go for many years. Instead I told him that I just wanted to stay home and do things with in driving distant. Malinda and Brian watched the Tyler for us Wednesday-Sunday since it was Fall Break for them and they had no School. And Dell and Ladeena and Clay because Dell took him on a scout camp-out.
We ate at some of our favorite places to eat and saw a lot of movies at Movies 8.
A few years ago Randy and I had gone to the Off Broadway Theater in Salt lake and we got free tickets to come back. We had never used them so I though it would be fun to go back. So we went to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square Mall. Then to the Off Broadway Theater. This year they had Y-light a spin off of Twilight. The Vampire were from American Forks and went to BYU and the Beer Wolves were form Utah. They had a mix of jokes from the church and from the rival colleges it was really funny. Right before intermission I get a phone call from my dad and I want to take until intermission. I called him back and he said I think Grandpa Nash has probably Died, they are working on him when we get more info we will call you back.
Just to back up a little bit. My grandpa had open heart surgery Thursday October14th. He was doing really good and the doctors told him that they were going to realize him Sunday evening. So this all is happening on Saturday night. I told my dad to call me once he knew anything. Well 5 minutes later he called and said that he had died. I was in shock. I couldn't believe that this was happening, he was doing so well. I sat back down in my seat and told Randy was had happen and then I just started crying. I couldn't believe it. Right before the play started again my dad called and said not to leave Salt lake until they got a hold of my Aunt Vanese. Then intermission was over. If it wasn't for the play being so funny I think I would have cried the whole way through.
After the play was over I called my dad to see if they got a hold of my Aunt. They hadn't yet, so I told him that we would stay in Salt Lake and until the did. My Aunt doesn't drive she takes the bus everywhere and then needed to get her to the hospital. So I said we would wait for her. We would have gone and picked her up right as soon as the play got out but I didn't know where she lived and she lives in a locked community so there was no way to even get her door. So Randy and I went to the improve show. At intermission they still hadn't gotten a hold of her. They finally did 10 minutes before the show was over. After the show we went and pick her up.
Come to find out that they had to call the police tell them what happened and that they couldn't reach her and asked for them to knock at her door. So they did. My Aunt had gone to bed at 8:00pm and had turn her phone off. She was surprised to wake up to cops at her door. My other Aunt and Uncle and gone up to their cabin and it took a little time getting a hold of them. My Grandma had just left the hospital an hour before he had died to go home for the night. And my other Aunt and cousin had just gotten to the hospital right as they had called Code-blue. After we picked my Aunt up we headed to the hospital and then we all just sat there for an hour or so. Then went home. The next day We picked up the boys and we all met over at my grandma's and talked about my grandpa and what had happened.
Lets just say I will never forget the day he died because it was on our Anniversary.

The Red Barn
Malinda and I took the kids to the Red Barn to go and pick Pumpkins out. They made it a little bit better this year and had a little maze made out of the apple crates. The kids loved it and kept going in. We had a lot of fun. We would give Adi her pumpkin to carry but she would hold it for a minute and the throw it, she would not carry the thing. It was funny every time she would do it after about the third time Malinda ended up just carrying it.
