Thank You....


I wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers and messages of condolence. The funeral was very nice and when Marv spoke, he did a really wonderful job. Not sure if I could be that composed, but my husband is truly an amazing man. There was a large turn out.....what a great tribute and quite fitting, I'm sure he would have been pleased. I included the link to his obit for any that have some extra time on their hands and want to read a little about him. Also, a few pictures taken about an hour before the service of Marv with his Mom & sisters, Mandy & her Grandma, and Marv & Mandy.

At the viewing on Saturday, some of the relatives were talking about facebook and how we all need to do it to stay in touch. So, that night I couldn't sleep and updated it as I promised them I would. I see some of you have already found me there, and if anyone else has it, send me a friend invite so I know you are there. I think I will use it more often for times like now when journaling isn't possible. It is quick, yet you can still say hi & check up on people. So.....let me know.

Our Mandy is here all week and tomorrow is her birthday.....my baby is 26! It will be a nice day of cheering up though, and just what her Dad needs.


Thanks Again......
Love & Pooh Hugs,
Linda

Hi Linda
I am so sorry for the loss of your Father In Law. I have not been around much lately, and I feel horrible for not keeping up with things. I bet the ceremony was beautiful. I am going to go read the obituary. Keeping you, Marv, and Mandy along with the rest of your family in my prayers.

Hugs,
