One Year.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the blog. I have felt a longing to write more, but knowing that mom's journey on earth is over I have struggled to continue.

I was overwhelmed and so grateful for the amazing turnout at the funeral. I hoped for more time to visit with those of you who traveled so far. Thank you for being there.

If you didn't make it or were there and didn't get a program I do have more and would be happy to send a copy to you if you send me your address: johnval10@msn.com

We got a lot of comments about the beautiful picture of mom on the cover of the program and I need to thank Dion Seneca for her photography talents.

The "in lieu of flowers" donations that we have received for the 1st grade level library at Coral Canyon Elementary have been so appreciated. The staff is thrilled and we are so grateful. I have had a few more requests for the address of the school:
3435 Canyon Crest Ave. Washington, UT 84780


Everyday I miss something about mom. Having the perspective I do from losing dad, I know that time will help heal. I know that she will continue to be a part of all of our lives because her influence doesn't end with her death. I am so grateful for the wonderful memories that were shared, the kind words spoken to comfort us, and the continued love that we feel from you.

I pray that our own journey will reflect mom's incredible energy and spunk for life.

The End.
