Remembering Mom Ward

It was one year ago on Friday, January 29, 2009 that my Mom died. It was a blessing considering her diminished mental capabilities but that doesn't diminish the fact that she is gone and has left a hole in our hearts that only she could fill. Having completed her second estate and knowing what we do about the plan of salvation we should rejoice that she finished her life here on earth and can now rest from all things physical. I went to the temple to honor her and received a sweet hug from heaven. I know Heavenly Father is aware of me and that JoAnn and Mom are there together. Enjoy these pictures and spend a minute reliving memories you have of her while she served each of us as sister, wife, mother, grandma and great grandma. What a gift of love she had for all of us.

Memorial Day at the cemetery was beautiful but by the time we got back to Grandpa's house for a picnic the weather was threatening so we quickly moved into the garage then almost as soon as the winds came they left and we enjoyed visiting on what was a very warm spring day.
