Mom's memorial service

Martha, Moriah and Jon
Moriah made a beautiful slide show of my mom's life.  We showed this at the service. 

Cody and Mishael

Our memory table
This one I used my Italian table cloth from Italy.  Joe and Moriah bought it for me in Italy.

June

April and Oscar.  We had Sub sandwiches, salads the church lady's provided.
We made memory tables.  Mom's braid, photo album, her bibles.
We brought a couple of her painting to show off.

Miriam and Gareth
Rick and Joe
My dear friend Sherry made a beautiful cake.


The Children were going to sing a couple of songs.  My Mom loved to hear them sing. They harmonize so well and sing in parts.  It's actually amazing how well they all sing.  It seems out of so many one would have a hard time.

Practice time:

Rick was needed to do the sound for the service.  He hadn't done that sort of work for many years.  When he was done, he said "I forgot how much I enjoy that work"
I suppose at least half of the service was family.  there were probably a good 50 people there.  The Church people were so sweet.  took care of serving the food, clean up etc.  It's so good to have a real church in the time need.
