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.
Your Mom & Dad are so proud of you !!! I am sure you can feel it Val ... You truly are amazing ! How grateful we are to know this has been only part of the journey for your folks, your family & us all. We are so blessed to have the knowledge we have. The legacy continues through you all ... May God be with your family .... Lisa
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for all that you've posted here Val. It really helped me to feel connected to you all in some small way, during all that you experienced. Her example will keep radiating, no doubt. xoxo
ReplyDeleteVal, did you really have to say "The End"? That was too sad for me! Thanks to everyone for being so loving and supportive to my mom and our family. Much love, Becky
ReplyDeleteThanks Val for doing another post, I wanted there to be a bit more. Take care, lots of love.
