Mom's Funeral

The viewing and Funeral were beautiful! It was fun to see extended family and friends! There were many precious sweet and wonderful experience in the days before the funeral. When my dad passed away and we were all struggling to get through it, my mom turned to us and said, "Come on, it's going to be alright, we can do this - we can do hard things!" She said it in a cheerful tone and we will always remember it!! Her words came back to us all!! I know that we were each carried this day! I was very sad, but mostly, I just could feel how happy my mom was!! All of the girls sang a song, and we made it through most of it!! Chris gave a beautiful spiritual thought/talk! I love him! I read a poem that My mom wrote for her mother and then added about the gift of faith that my mother gave me. My sisters Lori and Kathy also shared memories. She had a special friend, a friend of my sister Kathy, who came once a week to visit with my mom for the last years - she also spoke. We were grateful for all those who took the time to attend the funeral.
