We gave Mom a great send off. The funeral went very well. The Spirit was so strong from beginning to end. Her requests for more music than speaking was such a great idea. The music was wonderul. Each speaking part, from Dave's welcome to Pres. Peterson's inspired and personal touch seemed the perfect segway to the next. You would have thought we planned the talks. Really everyone had their topic and that was it. It turned out better than any of us had hoped and we feel that Mom was pleased. There was so much love and tender happiness around, undeniable strong feelings.
Bishop estimated that there were about 750-800 in attendance. So many dear friends, old and new, were there to give support and express love. It was very humbling.
Best part is that Eddie received permission to record it on video so that we can send it to family and Ecuadorian Missionaries that weren't able to attend.
After filling up at the luncheon (with delicious food) we visited with cousins and close friends. Eddie showed a video he put together of Mom. It is PERFECT! It just brought Mom right back to us. The majority of the crowd didn't leave until about 4 pm. We just didn't want the closeness to end.
