Most of you by now have received the beautiful letter that Courtney, mom's granddaughter, created about her passing. Mom donated her body to science in hopes that the research done on her body would save the lives of others with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, therefore we did not have a funeral or burial service. Many of you were able to visit mom while she was still here, which made her so happy and she was very grateful for that. She only lived in Portland for 4 years, so we may have a small gathering for local friends. I will certainly let everyone know once this is decided upon.
Please check back on this blog in a few days. I have so much more to say but do not have the time to write it all now. I would love to share some blessings and miracles God gave us with mom's passing, among other things.
Thank you all so very much for your love, prayers, encouragement, support, etc. thru mom's journey, and also now, as we continue OUR journey without her. I would also like to extend my condolences to all of YOU who lost mom as a friend, sister, aunt, etc. Our family is not the only ones grieving her loss and I know she touched lots of lives and was loved by many.
Many Blessings to all as we move forward in this New Year!!
With Love,
Stacey
