Areta Sumsion Blake Funeral

Max and Areta Blake

The viewing and funeral were very nice.
We all love Great Grandma Blake (Areta) very much,
and are happy that she can be reunited with her husband.
Areta S. Blake passed away on October 4, 2008.
She had 42 grandchildren and 126 great grandchildren---WOW!
What a posterity! Those are the treasures that truly last forever!
Grandma was an amazing lady, who was a great example to me.
It was neat to go to the funeral and see all my cousins and family.

Bryan, Mindy
Karissa, Kelsi, Sam, Jacob

We love our cousins!
(Ann and Keith Blake family)

Sam with Uncle Randy
Sam thinks Uncle Randy is the coolest guy ever!
He has so much fun with him.
When we would go to visit Great Grandma Blake,
Sam would ask, "Is that fun guy going to be there?"
Sam LOVES Uncle Randy!
As you can see from the look on his face,
he is very excited to see him!

After the funeral, we all went over to a mansion that my cousin,
William Blake, rented for everyone.
It was a lot of fun to see everyone.
The kids loved the basement
where there were built in play houses.
