Where are we today ?
After yesterday had a good sleep to rest our tired bones. A few things done early and then picked up Suzie's Dad to head to the church for 9:30 this morning. The interment at 10 am and Celebration of Beatties' life at 11:00 am. Some wonderful prayers and stories told by a grandson and granddaughter and a niece and nephew, always remembering the great meals she whipped up, her vibrant personality and the smiles on her face. Plus Pastor Wanda has known the family all her life and knows the family well.This was followed by a wonderful luncheon put on in the basement for close to 200 people put on by the church ladies.
Now she may rest in peace and be in a better, place. Yes she was loved by all who knew her and will be missed by them all as well. We all have some wonderful memories of this wonderful woman, that I have had the pleasure of knowing for the last 26 years.
We have a few loose ends to tie up before we head back south March 11th.
Thanks for stopping by again, and for all your kind comments.
