Pam, Helen, Zada, Billie, Don, Malcolm, Abe, Dennis, and Ahad,

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I have no siblings and so have a lot to do. We have been going through my mother's things, although there are not many since she has been in a nursing home for almost five years. My daughters are coming today to look through her treasures of books, crafts, and cards. Yesterday, we found a resume of my father's, a love note my mother had written to my father in 1934 and still had in her wallet, along with loving notes from family. Such sentimental journeys life takes us on.

I have been having some health problems that are getting in my way, but since we have lots of time to plan her service that is all right. We are going to have my daughter, a music minister, come from Virginia to play, and she's going to gather the musical members of the family in some music. My husband's going to play his harmonica, my grand-daughter her flute, my two singing grandchildren are going to sing, and we might even add my grandson Kevin on drums. We are all gathering the sewing items my mother made for all of us for a display. My mother developed many non-treatable and miserable maladies recently, and about five days ago made the decision to not take water, food, or meds. She was in a loving place where they took great care of her, even at the end.

Love you all,

Carol

It sounds like your mother had a very full life and was surrounded with love. The memorial is sure to be a good one, filled with good memories and music. My thoughts are with you and I hope your maladies lessen soon.
