Delphine St.Clair 1919-2008

My grandma St.Clair passed last night, Tuesday April 21, 2008 at about 6 p.m. at the hospital on Pacific in Everett, WA. She had a sore on her leg initially which led to an infection and they were contemplating amputation. She then went to the hospital Thursday April 17th, because her kidneys also started to fail. They told family that grandma had about 24-48 hours but managed to hold on until last night. All of the family flew/drove in from various states and cities to be with one another and to be here for the funeral. 
My brother is going to be a pallbearer along with other grandsons. I am going to be reading scripture at the funeral, along with Maddie. I'm not sure what we're reading, my aunts chose them already. I kind of wish I could have chosen...although I guess that's a lot of pressure. I still don't know what i'm going to wear. I never have anything to wear...I don't really know why that is. Clothes just don't really fit me the right way and I always feel uncomfortable in most things. Oh well. Anyways, my dad's side of the family is Catholic so we are having sort of a mass for the funeral. It should be interesting seeing as though I've never been to a mass before. I'm kind of anxious about the whole thing, but it'll be ok. I'll post after the funeral if I have interesting things to say. 
Here is a photo I took of her during some family event up at the house. She was getting out of the car because she lived in a nursing home so someone had to go pick her up and bring her:
