This was a different Memorial Day for us. We usually go to Lava and have a picnic with mom and then go to the cemetery. Mom got sick in the middle of April and had to go to a rehab center so she wasn't home on Memorial Day. The responsibility to decorate the graves fell on me. I was glad to do it but I know how important it is to mom that it is done just right so I felt a little pressure. I think they turned out really pretty. Griff, Whit and Maddie were here and came with us. It was nice to be together to pay respects and remember those who mean so much to us. I miss my dad and grandparents and think of them often. I am so grateful for eternal families!

I'm so grateful for my dad. As time goes on I appreciate more and more the things he taught me by word and example. He is my hero! I miss him everyday.
I don't remember a lot about my sister Kathleen. I was 5 when she died. But I know someday I will be able to get to know her again!
I was so blessed to have a grandma and grandpa that lived close to me growing up. They loved us so much. Grandpa would play games with us and grandma always had a special treat…usually hershey chocolate bars and grape juice. Oh how I miss them still!
Joy was truly an elect lady. I learned so much from her. Most importantly she raised a wonderful son who I am so grateful is my husband. Someday we will all be together again.
