My brothers and I would like to thank all of you who helped make the Memorial such a special event. We are quite sure Mom enjoyed the evening from heaven.

We would like to thank Heather for managing the dining for the reception, a big project; it went off very well. Beth was in charge of the beautiful flowers on all the dining tables. The table displays in Foyer and sanctuary flowers/pictures were headed up by Hannah and Rebekah and turned out stunningly beautiful. The slideshow was excellent, we have Ava to thank for that. Thanks also to all of you who hustled to get her pictures (sorry Ava, I know I was a bit tardy).

Of course, the service was beautiful and deeply moving. Everyone who spoke did an amazing job. I haven’t yet, but plan to watch again to remind myself of the many different memories, insights, and exhortations that family members, Pastor Mark Brewster, and Pastor Nick Hasselstrom related to us. Also, a special thank you to Pastor Brewster for his experienced advice in behind the scenes planning. 

Finally, we know there were many friends and family not mentioned who generously helped with set up/clean up and provided delicious food for the reception to honor our mother.  We are humbled and grateful to you all.
