Thank You

I know that many of you went to the funeral and visitation, and we wanted to thank you. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, your cards, your support, the flowers, the time, the memories, the food, the help, and of course, the brownies!

I know that there is a list of people that I Layne, would like to thank. I know that there is a list of people that my dad, Dave, would like to thank. And I also know that Jeremy has a list of people to thank.

I heard someone tell me that the Internet has made so many things impersonal, we would rather send and email than make a phone call. He said that this blog made something impersonal become very close, real, and tangible to him. While many people are around the state, nation, and even world, they were able to share experiences, and keep up to date with moms health. That was her wish.

Mom was happy to hear all the comments, and the family loved to read them to her. This blog has been many things for us, and we aren't ready to let it go just yet. We would like to keep the site up for a little while longer, while we are unsure what we might do with it.

Mom wanted to be cremated, and in the spring, we will bury her as she asked. We will take pictures if at all possible, and post them here.

All in all, I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting, please feel free to pop in now and again to see whats going on. As tears run down my face, I must tell you it is difficult to say goodbye, so as it was said at the funeral, see yah later.

well said layne...this was an amazing way for you to stay connected and keep so many people informed. your family really became vulnerable in sharing something so precious and personal with us. thank you though as what you've shared has touched my life....and it made me miss all of you so much!
