Cheryl's Celebration of Life

 On Saturday, we had a celebration of life gathering for my mom.  She would have loved it~I hate that she wasn't there to see the people that meant the most to her all in one room.  It was a lovely event...she would have approved!
Her childhood friend, Roger 'Bud' Brooks did her eulogy.  She had talked with him years ago about this, and asked him if he would write hers when she died someday.   He didn't necessarily agree to the reading part of it, but he stepped up to the task and did a wonderful job.   Many people have asked me to post the words that were shared that day, so here they are.  (sorry the font is so small.  I think that you can 'right click' on the image....'open in new tab'.....then enlarge)  Rogers words are appropriately inappropriate.  My mom would have loved them!  Thank you, Roger!


My cousin, and Cheryl's nephew Michael 'Albie' Albada, also surprised us with a poem that he had written about my mom.  It was wonderful and perfect.  Cheryl would have loved and appreciated this so much.  Thanks, Albie.
