Today we had a Memorial Service for my brother in-law’s mother, Nancy. All our family and friends gathered to say our farewell to this remarkable woman. The church was beautiful, and the service and music lovely. My sister and brother-law’s two sons, daughter and daughter in-law all spoke. They each provided a loving tribute to this incredibly strong, resilient and loving woman.
As I said the music was lovely and I found myself listening while silent tears streamed down my face.
Nancy was fun, kind, energetic, encouraging, and as I looked at her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren I realized what a positive legacy that she has left this world. She loved so much, and she was loved deeply!
Nancy loved to paint and had many framed scenes. Mel and Ron offered many of the paintings to family members. Her work will now be with her family to hang in their homes and remind them of this incredible woman.
The luncheon afterward gave us all time to visit, exchange stories, catch up on life and at the end, I felt such peace in my heart.
Nancy is now with God in Heaven. Her pain is over and her spirit is restored. She is with those who have passed before her, those she loved with all her heart, who welcomed her home.
God Bless you, Nan. May you rest in eternal peace.
It was lovely and sad and happy! Love YOU, Mel
