As our family begins settling back into everyday life, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make Mom’s services special.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to our family. We had services in both Texas and Illinois, and it meant so much to see friends and family travel from near and far to be with us. Whether you attended a service, sent flowers, shared a memory, made a phone call, or simply kept our family in your thoughts, please know how much it was appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who sent flowers. The arrangements were beautiful and served as a reminder of just how many people Mom’s life touched.
Thank you Cedarville United Methodist Church for hosting the luncheon after the service, and to everyone who helped prepare food, serve, and clean up. Spending time together, sharing stories, and reconnecting with family and friends meant a lot to us.
Losing someone you love is never easy, but the support we’ve received from so many people has made the journey a little lighter. We’re grateful for every act of kindness and every person who helped honor Mom’s memory.
Thank you all.
