Thank you

We have so many amazing friends and family members. Thank you all for coming to the memorial service yesterday! The turnout was amazing and we appreciate people letting us know how much my mom meant to everyone. Thank you to everyone who has sent flowers for the services and to our home. Thank you for the edible arrangements and tons of other goodies. Thank you for the beautiful, heartfelt cards. Thank you for the dinners and other little favors. I am just in shock at how kind and caring people are. I don't think I could ever thank each of you enough, but our family will most certainly pay it forward when others are in pain because we know what a difference it has made in our experience.

The memorial yesterday was perfect. I want to especially thank the St. Christopher school, staff, and community for letting us have the service and banquet there and for helping with all of the delicious food. Also, thank you to Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Burdett for organizing everything. You are amazing! The banquet was so much more than we expected. It gave us the opportunity to hear memories of my mom and to reunite with people we haven't seen in years. Hearing the stories and details people remember about my mom was so reassuring and such a tribute to her life. Seeing her students so upset and hearing parents say she changed their child's life was inspiring. I cannot thank you all enough for sharing those memories. It was good to remember the happy and fun times. Love you all!
