Well today was a big day. We had my Mother’s memorial service today. I was so pleased with how many people showed up. WOW!! We are so lucky that my Mom touched so many people in her life. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I feel we truly celebrated her life today. We laughed and enjoyed the company of friends and family. I know Mom was looking down from Heaven and laughing along with everyone.

I am SO SO Lucky! One of my very best friends, Jeff, drove all the way from Marietta, about a 5-6 hour drive one way! He had to drive back today because he begins a new job tomorrow morning. Is that a great friend or what! (Good Luck Jeff!) Other surprises came from the incredible turn out from my Owens co-workers. If I counted right, I think there were over a dozen people. I expected a couple people from work, but not that many. This did not go un-noticed by my family. I heard numerous times, “Boy they must really like you.”

I’ll be working primarily with my Brother over the next weeks on a very special web page for our Mother. I want to tell the world what a great Mom I had!

I have to say Thank You so much to all my friends and family who have been just incredible during this difficult time. Your kind words and support have really helped.
