Back from the Memorial Service

Post by Mars »

Well.....it was rough but it is over. The service celebrated her life - and what a life it was! There were tons of pictures at all ages and from all aspects of her life. The music included songs she liked and the church was full to the gills.

At the end of the service, 40/10 (she wasn't 50 on her last birthday - June 28th - she was 40/10!! haha) they let 40/10 hellium ballons off into the sky! I hope they travel far.

A dinner followed with family and friends and now I'm off to drink a few :drinking: with close mutual friends.

Have a good night, my friends.

Sounds like a wonderful service. I love the celebrations of life too. That is the way it should be!

I hope it gave you some comfort in your sadness.

Hugs!
