Forest Lawn Memorial - Hollywood Hills

Ruth Montgomery Bown - April 7, 1932 - March 31, 2010 Beloved wife of Roger Lee Bown

We spent thurs. thru saturday out of town to Los Angeles for Kelly's Aunt Ruth's funeral.

Patty Vining flew to Salt Lake & traveled down with Terry & Susie. All Ruth's siblings

were able to attend. Patty, Thelma, Dick & Byron. Byron was able to talk Aunt Thelma

into coming down with them even though her husband Richard Shinney had passed only two weeks prior. We stayed at the Radazon Hotel in Granada Hills a 10 min. drive from the

Stake Center where Ruth & Roger attended for years where the funeral was held.

This was a beautiful cemetery & it was a beautiful cool spring day and all the flowers

were in bloom. Mike Bown had to fly home from Switzerland & he was already scheduled

to fly home for a vacation in may.

Byron Montgomery (brother) played "Amazing Grace" on his trumpet as requested by

the family at the cemetery. And this time there were no "tic tacks" caught in his mouth

peice as was the case discovered after he played at Grandma Montgmery's funeral.

He thought his kids had sabotaged his trumpet. As it was he had put his mouth piece

in his pocket & there had been some lose tic tacs in there & one found it's way into the

mouthpiece.
