Again, my condolences and love for the passing of your wonderful mom.  I’m so glad I got to see her one last time in June, and be reminded of her perennial cheerfulness!!! – even amidst the growing confusion that overtook her with mental deterioration toward the end.  I mentioned it during the “joys and sorrows” sharing portion of the service at Cascade UU Fellowship today, after having told several other of her friends earlier in the week – and the collective feedback about her included her joy, sense of humor, smart, great attitude, positivity, always smiling, pitching in on things, generally being a happy person.

I’ve got a few specific comments that you can add to the website about her, once it’s created.  A few other people today asked for your e-mail address, so you may get comments from them as well.  The five I have are attached – along with the photo of us (that I already sent you) from June.

Love to you all!  I’m so happy to have had the chance to get to know Lois’s wonderful family.

Chris
