It isn't easy saying goodbye to my mother. She was buried yesterday in Kansas. The cemetery is called Pleasant Hill. Location: Starting at Louisville, go 1 mile North on Highway 99, turn RIGHT and go 2 1/2 miles on Wheaton Road (Wheaton and 99 fork). Turn RIGHT on Martin road and go 1 1/2 miles east, turn LEFT on Water Mill Road go 1/2 mile north, turn left at Indian Creek Road onto gravel road, you will see the Pleasant Hill Cemetery sign.

My mother was strong willed and soft hearted. She loved me and my siblings very much. She would give what she had to anyone in need. She didn’t judge people because that had less. My hope is that her name is written in the Book of Life so that I may see her again. Thanks to everyone who lifted me and my family up in prayer. Our trip to Kansas and back went well considering the age of our younger children. Many came to support us and love on us through this hard time. As this whirlwind comes to an end I am sure I will have more time for reflection and tears and perhaps a change in the way I view my time on earth.
