Good Morning -

I would just like to thank everyone that came out on Saturday to my mom's memorial service/celebration of life. There were also quite a few that couldn't make it and sent their condolences and we appreciate that as well. It was a beautiful tribute to the bright life that my mom lived and I want to thank everyone who was a part of that. 

My mom is going to be missed by so many but she was so abundantly loved and that makes me my heart so full. These last couple months were so difficult and all we wanted was for her to be free of pain and discomfort. I would give anything to bring my mother back but I would never want her to live another moment in the state that she was in. Our family is so strong but it doesn't mean that it makes this any easier. I know that my sister and I are resilient but still need our mother at times. 

Again, we appreciate everyone's kind words about how much they loved my mother - how she was a feisty, beautiful, full of love and life, amazing person and that is how I want her to be remembered. My mother was most happy running around on a tennis court, taking care of animals, and spending time with her family and friends - those memories are the ones I hold close to my heart. 

To my mom, GiGi, Gayley, G, etc - We love you and will miss you everyday. 💕
