The memorial service for Lois was very touching. Beautiful surroundings. Outside with squirrels running up the hillside. Listening to the fountain flowing in the background during the minister's and Hospice chaplain's loving words. Peaceful. Serene. Tranquil. Poignant words to describe a wonderful lady.
No large crowds. Just special people coming to support and console those grieving for their loved one. We personally want to express our deepest appreciation to three ladies and two gentlemen for coming all the way from Long Beach to Encinitas to be there for us. But how can you only say "thank you"? It seems so inadequate. So, Greg, Laura, Judy, Chuck, and Barbara, let me just say that our family will never forget what you did for us today, Monday, March 5, 2007. Ed was blown away that you actually came all that distance. Your love and support means more than you will ever know.

We could get into a "blessed" contest, but I think we'd win hands down! We love you and your family because you are our family. It's just something family does for family, isn't it?
This is one of the reasons I love my Long Beach family. They truly are family and show it!! When Charles' Mom died some came to the funeral and it was out in Riverside AND raining AND windy AND really cold, yet they were still there to support us when we needed them!
