Journal entry by Sarah Diaz —
Thank you to all who are planning to attend the Memorial Service and Celebration of Life events for our mom. Thank you, also, to those who are not able to attend but will be honoring her from home.
Abby and I have spent the last 400 days saying "thank you, unfortunately we can't attend" to gatherings when we were unsure if it would be a safe option for our families or others. So, we understand the gravity of such decisions.
We know, from our mom's (and dad's!!) example, that there are MANY ways to show love, share a smile, convey a message or offer comfort . . . so if you find yourself saying "thank you, unfortunately we can't attend" to this Friday's events please know that we understand and we respect you, and so would mom. ❤️
Feel free to use this Caring Bridge page to share your memories or messages. This page will live on, and we look forward to revisiting it in the future when we need a boost of good vibes from our mom's tribe. (Also, our brains might be working a little better at that point, too!)
A $30 donation to CaringBridge powers Amy's site for one month. Will you make a gift to help ensure that this site stays online for them and for you?
