Thank You
I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for all the thoughtful comments, cards and support we have received from everyone. Your kind words really have helped us get through.
We laid our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother to rest on Friday afternoon. She was surrounded by her family and her friends. We created a memory board of wonderful photos and I will share a picture of it at a later time (I am not quite ready). Her children and grandchildren arrived from Utah and Washington, and it was so wonderful to have them here. It meant the world to Dad and to the Montana side of the family to have them here. For those of our family who could not be here due to international travel and other obligations, I hope you know you were in our thoughts and prayers! I really wish we all lived a little closer to each other. Even though we are separated by miles - we are all tied together with a lot of love and I am truly grateful for our eternal family!
To my wonderful online friends - I am a little behind on some of my contests and projects - I hope you understand - it may take me awhile to get things sorted out.
God Bless to All
Lesli
I hope everything will be ok!
