Montague Township Hall, August 25, 3 days after what would have been my Mom's 75th birthday.We gathered together with friends and relatives to honor and remember our Mother, who died September 22, 2006, in Tulsa.
Tributes were made by family members who spoke about her and sang songs. The tables were decorated with her favorite things, like roses and lighthouses and seashells. Some of her favorite foods were served. We played her music, played a DVD of her life in pictures, and released balloons in the air that contained messages from us all. It was a truly meaningful and heartfelt way to say our goodbyes and remember how much she meant to us all. She will always be in our hearts, close, until we meet her again beyond the rainbow.

What a lovely blog entry. Your Mother must have been very special.
Sounds like the memorial was beautiful. I am sure she would have loved it. She will be missed.

I miss my Grandma. But that memorial suited her perfectly. We did the exact right thing, I think (and by 'we', I mostly mean 'Mom').
I feel so sorry i couldn't go. She was such a great person and im pretty ashamed i couldn't go =[
Love,
Hailie♥
Veeflower: Thanks for the nice comments. Hailie, we missed you there but there were people from your family there to represent you, sometimes that is all we can manage. People understand. I know Great-Grandma Larson was always impressed with how wonderfully you grew up from baby to teenager. She was very proud of you.
