Even though I couldn't make it to the funeral home ceremony, the house ceremony was incredibly touching. It was so beautiful to see so many people come together to pay their respects, from the youngest grandchildren all the way to the adults. Watching everyone gather like that really says so much about your family and the kind of person she was.

You could see how much she meant to everyone, and how she brought people together even in her final goodbye. The way the little ones participated alongside the grown-ups showed what a strong, loving family she helped create. That's really something special and not every family has that kind of bond.

Thank you for including us and letting us be part of sending her off. It meant so much to be welcomed into such a personal and meaningful moment. Being able to share in that with all of you was truly an honor. She was obviously very loved and will be deeply missed by so many people.
