Hard to believe the memorial has already been month ago. Harder still to believe that it has been two months ago we lost Mom. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her. Some of those days, I am caught off guard by unexpected tears (today is one of those days). In spite of the stress of care-giving for Mom, I miss her very much.

Today was Mom's memorial. It was a day I anticipated with a certain amount of dread. But it turned out to be a day filled with those priceless moments when you realize you and those you love matter, that the loss of my mom has created a vacancy in the lives of others as well. It was a day of illuminating exchanges, of loving gestures and expressions, of reasons for joy that overreaches the sorrow. It was the tears with smiles of so many, the thoughtful planning and execution of the gathering afterward. It was realizing how rich we are in the way that matters: we are loved.
Thank you to all who made today a good day in so many ways. I feel very blessed. I feel very rich. My mom would have felt that way, too.

To my favorite Uncle "Dunc" and family:
The passing of Aunt Joyce has left a void in all our lives. But I know that everything is "better" now. Every time I saw Aunt Joyce I was reminded of when you two were first married and you came by the old farm where we lived in New Mexico. I was sitting on your lap at the kitchen table when I whispered in your ear "Why does she have such long curly hair?" You leaned down to me and said "Because she lets me tickle my toes in it" Aunt Joyce must have heard everything because she BEAMED a smile at me to let me it was true!! I knew right then if she would do that for you she was a "keeper" I know these are hard and sad times but there will be a time when you will be able to "tickle your toes" with the love of your life!! Thank you and Aunt Joyce for all the Love and Patience these many years

Doc, Lynda, Andrea and families, Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Joyce was such a wonderful person and I'm sure her passing leaves a huge void in all your lives. She is at peace now and suffering no longer. We look forward to the time when we will see her again. We love all of you very much. The Saich and Gipson families
