Cheryl and I said bye to Mom last week. She had a great life, living and loving in so many places across our country, raising three children, with four grandchildren, all married to the loves of their lives, and four great grandchildren. Everyone of us got to spend time with her in the past year. I posted pics from our family visit in Feb“22.

My last long conversation with her was reading scripture (Acts, Isaiah). We were with her Monday, which was a blessing. At her request, we are planning a celebration of her life in Michigan in the Spring. She was loved by many.
