Eulogy from grandson Ryan
First I would like to thank you for coming. Most of you know Mrs. Trimble, others know Della, but only a few of us know Granny. I would like to share a few memories of Granny.

This first memory I cannot even remember. The only way I know that this even happened is because of a picture. It's of me about age three, with every pot and pan from Granny's cupboard placed upside down in the formation of a drum kit, and I am in the centre of the kitchen passed out. Granny would always let you be whatever you wanted to be.

Not too long after that, Granny taught me how to really use those pots and pans. Baking would become my favourite thing to do when I visited Granny's. We would bake anything from Banana muffins to cookies.

Granny also enjoyed puzzles and board games. Wathcing the "Price is Right" and Dave Duval for the weather.
I think maybe Granny had a crush on Dave.

There is one memory that really sticks out in my mind. Granny and I were out doing some yard work. She was using the riding lawnmower. I was off playing and I heard Granny calling me. She had tipped the mower and cut her leg pretty bad. She was still calm and asked me to call someone for help. Everything now is a big blue. But I still remember how calm, cool and collective she was. I then kenw how strong my granny really was.

Thanks for listening to my memoreis of my granny and once again thank you for coming out and celebrating the life of a truly wonderful lady.

Eulogy from granddaughter Kayla
Granny you were such a kind, gentle and yet very strong lady (clearly as you somehow managed to raise those crazy boys of yours). I can't begin to tell you how much I am going to miss our time together.

I always looked forward to tea and cookie time with you even though truth be known I wasn't much of a tea drinker. I loved how we used to do puzzles together and how you tuaght me to make placemants using old Christmas cards, something I still enjoy doing from time to time. Your laugh or more giggle was contagious and I will forever hold it in my mind. Some of my favourite times with you were spent flipping through old photo albums, you enjoyed explaining the pictures and I just enjoyed listening and looking or watching Lawrence Welk when I was younger.

I know Dad will miss coming over to your house to raid your cupboards for baked goods. He always knew he could find cookies somewhere and Christmas will never be the same without your candy cane rice puffs.

Granny what I wish for you is that your up in heaven playing with kitty, looking after your plants because we all know what a green thumb you had, driving your car around and enjoying some long lost time with Grandpa.

I love you lots and will miss you forever but I sure am lucky to have had a Granny like you in my life for all these years.
