For those who don't know, Loryn is the third Loryn Ross in a row. She is, however, the first female to carry the name. (much to the chagrin of her male predecessors, no doubt!) Anyway, the first Loryn Ross was Dan's grandfather, a hard-working, no nonsense farmer from the Uinta Basin. He died before I entered the family, so I never met him.
His wife, Barbara (or Grammy to us) lived with Dan's parents since his death. So my kids were able to visit her frequently and have her as a part of their lives. Grammy died on March 13th and we attended her funeral last week. She was buried in Roosevelt next to her beloved Loryn. My little Loryn couldn't pass up the chance for a phot op.
