Goodbye Grandma Arveseth

Steve's grandma passed away Saturday morning with many family members at her side. Unfortunately we were here in Pennsylvania and didn't have a chance to see her before she moved on. But Steve is going to fly out to Utah for the funeral, I am really glad that he'll have his chance to go and say goodbye to her. She was a very strong, independent woman. She raised Steve's dad and siblings from early on when Jim's dad passed away.


Living away from Salt Lake for so many years didn't allow for us to visit her very often, but we know that we'll be able to see her again one day!
