Berly Weekley

My grandmother, Beryl Weekely (90) passed away August 11th 2010 after an extended shit-storm which started with her car accident during the famous Iowa flood. She was never herself after that.


Rebecca & I wearing hot pink - Grandma B's Best Color


Grandma B loved to visit Hawaii. She went every year, during the good years. I remember her bringing me back a beautiful Lei and a Hawaiian dress when I was 6. I loved that damn ugly dress!

This is the lei I had commissioned by Karla Scheiner - the best florist in the world. Thank-you Karla!


We threw the lei into the Indian Creek - by the Nature Center where Grandma B. spend a lot of time volunteering and teaching classes. She loved her some nature. (Indian Creek Nature Center)


Beautiful glass doors to the sanctuary at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Cedar Rapids. Grandma B donated thousands of dollars and hours upon hours of her time to this church.

After the service we had a reception in the church basement, per Presbyterian Protocol... The ladies of the church were very gracious.


Sally (Jones) Shannon (aunt) and her daughter Megan Shannon (1st Cousin) flew in from Clearwater Florida


Emily (Camp) Curtis, my 1st cousin came in from Los Angeles (Em was always my favorite cousin)










Matts hair - longer than mine, but maybe not quite as long as Sams.



All of us.

RIP Grandma B. Miss you. Say hi to Susan, Ev and Franco for us.
