My dear Jody, Doug, and Family - What an amazing tribute to your mom and grandma today. I was blessed to be able to share in it. Even though, in these crazy times, I cannot not be present to hug you all, I pray that you feel the love and warmth of all of your family and friends. Your mom was a wonderful quiet spirit. I always enjoyed being around her at the Mother's Day celebration - and any other time that I saw her. I pray that the memories that you are sharing will bring a smile. Sometimes that smile is with tears, but the smile is warm and bright and a blessing to those around you. Love you all! Marla
