Afternoon, FRiends at Amy's Place.

First, I want to thank you all for the warm sympathy greeting y'all extended to our family regarding Mom's Homegoing. Thank You so very much.

We had a real nice memorial service last Thursday and if I may, I'd like make a few comments and share a couple of pics with y'all.

Mom was a very gifted seamstress... sewing everything from clothes, to draperies, upholstering and toys for all the grandkids and gr-grandkids. Below is an example of her handiwork. We transported 6 Raggety Ann & Andys, 2 Cabbage Patch dolls and a few other items Mom made over the years. We displayed them in the foyer of the funeral home...

Some of you may remember a post I made a few years ago about a bouquet of flowers I gave Mom. Briefly, Mom was allergic to fresh flowers and I always wanted to give her a bouquet of roses, soooo, I went to the rose garden at the park and took pictures of roses in full bloom, placed them in a photo album and presented her with a bouquet.

At the funeral, one of our daughters wrote and delivered the eulogy for her "Nana". I also shared the following story...

Mom had a great love for music. She especially loved to listen to the old hymns of the church. Listening was what she did best, because Mom was tone-deaf and she would be the first to tell you that she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Soooo, I went to the local Christian Book Store and got a couple of tapes of her favorite songs. I got some musical note stickers, placed 'em on a brass bucket, inserted the tapes and gave Mom her very own bucket to carry a tune.

I now have that bucket with a couple of tapes Mom gave me that she knew I would enjoy...

So good to hear from you, Dave, and thank YOU for sharing a little of your mom with us - those dolls are just wonderful, and I also remember you telling us about the "tune-carrying" bucket. It's such a cute story.

Thank you also for sharing a bit of the memorial service with us. You have such a warm and wonderful family.

It's nice to have you back. :)
