Mom’s funeral service today was truly a celebration of her life. We told stories of people she impacted and the many ways she made us laugh. My beautiful niece, Katelynn sang “Our Father” and I know Mom loved it. My son, Josh and nephew, Dominic led us in signing Amazing Grace. Mark Millman really honored Mom and God with his message and Words of Life. Pastor Len Hendrix of Covenant Presbyterian, who was very present with our family through mom’s illness and after her passing, shared some powerful scriptures and led us at the graveside service. Some of Harold’s adult children made the trip from Florida to come up and remember Mom with us. My sweet niece, Melinda also made the trek from Florida as well as my brother, Jay. We were so encouraged by how many came from far and wide to be with us on this special day. We had a beautiful dinner lakeside out at the UTSI campus dining hall. Mom would’ve loved it.
We are honored and grateful for how many have followed mom’s caring bridge page. It has been an encouragement to us and a reminder that we’re not alone.
