A Somber Celebration of an AMAZING Mom!

I felt a profound sense of love and gratitude for my mother today! She accomplished and loved so much in this world and beautified everything around her-- she truly was a blessing to me and I'm going to miss her so much! It was a somber day... I expected to feel more comfort today but I had a really hard time! Uncle Doug and McKenzie really bonded at the viewing-- both were having a hard time with it an comforted each other when the other was needing it! It was really sweet to watch that!! It was a beautiful service and Robin did an excellent job eulogizing mom's FULL life-- something she was very concerned about "getting right". Really, how do you sum up a life like mom's in 20 min? You don't-- Robin took quite a bit longer, but that's ok! I enjoyed hearing about all the fun memories and some that I didn't even know about my mom! Georgia and Susie Rogers and many others came to show their love and support, as well. I'm so glad that they did-- it made the day so much more bearable and we were able to laugh together at the luncheon afterward. I am also grateful for Nancy and Nikki that made the effort to come and show love to us and be here in this difficult time. They well understand because they lost dear Aunt Jane about 4 or 5 months ago! (Possibly why Uncle Doug was having such a hard time-- losing your sweet wife and close sister both in such a short period of time.) I love you, Mom!!
