The Los Gatos Remembrance

It was a wonderful Remembrance.  We saw pictures going back to 1947, we laughed, we prayed, we told stories and most of all, we celebrated Mary's life.

Her oldest son, Tim, and her daughter, Lara, were both here. Lara's family was with her so Scott and granddaughters Madelyn and Emma were in attendance.

MaryR, Michele, and Terry had prepared eulogies at my request.  Pastor Jim Morrison invited more comments and we heard from a number of Mary's friends. It was wonderful to hear their memories and perspective on Mary and it warmed my heart to know how much she meant to so many people.  Mary's son-in-law Scott was the last to speak and he touched me with his words in a very special way. 

We sang Amazing Grace as a group, Pastor Jim read from the scriptures, he also read the very touching description that Rabbi Lori had written about the family saying goodbye at the hospital and then Madelyn and Emma took the microphone and led us all in the Lord's Prayer. 

I had provided a series of pictures and Darling-Fisher converted them into two short videos that we used as a preface and a postscript to the Remembrance. . I'll post those videos next week after the Remembrance in St. Paul. 

The pictures are of the flowers received from friends. Thank you.
