Yesterday we celebrated a long and full life of Zach's grandmother who passed away at the age of 94. Her memorial service was the perfect way to remember her. It was a service filled with love, laughter, and fond remembrances. Her family was her first love, so it was only fitting that her family was central to the service. Her great-grandchildren read scripture. Her grandchildren shared memories, musical gifts, and read some of her original poetry. Her sons told stories and played music. It was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing woman. I'm sure she would have been pleased.
Last night as we were putting the kids to bed, Adelie was saying her bedtime prayer. This was what she said: "Dear Jesus, Please help us to remember Great Grams really hard and please help people keep her in their loves. Amen."
I know her family and friends will remember her really hard.
And I know that each time we think about our loves, she will be right there in the midst of them.
We will always remember and be thankful for a life well lived.
