Exhaling

The last week or so since Ana's passing has been a time of holding my breath, metaphorically speaking. Anticipating the next thing as we moved along the course to the memorial service was a little tense at times. I looked forward to the service with prayer, that every detail would be just right, the family members would be honored, loved, cared for, and served. The team of people who helped did not disappoint.

We had a wonderful team from New Life and EQUIP who coordinated, shopped, cooked, and served with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts. What a huge blessing!

Greg did a fantastic job with the service. It was planned well, his message was great, the testimonies were so very touching, and the music was just perfect.

We actually left energized. Steve, Ana's husband, said it was the best memorial service he had ever been to. I had to agree.

I know Ana would have been pleased.
