We celebrated mom in a beautiful celebration of life filled with her favorite verses, music hymns and flowers yesterday in the presence of so many people of love her and her people. Mark Wells (friend) and Dr. Gordon Turnbull (senior pastor) delivered beautiful messages that perfectly captured the incredible being she was.
Mom requested a colorful flower arrangement featuring her favorite flower, the Dutch Iris, and we are so grateful to Steve Wood for creating this breathtaking display. I envisioned her watching from the cross she and Greg contributed to the church many years ago in memory of his parents and her mom, our Grandnana. I wish I could have momentarily hopped up there for big hug and to see the incredible congregation dressed in beautiful shades purple to show support for the fight against pancreatic cancer.
Thank you to some of my precious friends (Jen, Sara, Erin and Jessie) who fed our bellies, hearts and souls this weekend to allow our family and friends to focus on the special celebrations.
Thank you all for sharing your love of our mom, your sister, daughter, cousin and friend.
