R&R Sunday Feb. 22 Got up to work on pictures and we decorated the Community room for Mom's memorial service. We put a light blue plastic table cloth on the serving table and cut up some as runners down the center of the other tables. I trimmed some flowering bushes in the park and put those flowers down the center of the table. Mom had lots of pictures and we put them down the center of the tables and had people take them home with themm. We pinned lots of pictures up. At 10:45 we walked to the little Baptist church. Then home for a salad lunch. The service at 2 pm went fine. We heard many kind nice things about Mom. Jean read what Craig said at the funeral. Gail read what the pastor said. Nancy lead music. I was an emcee, more or less. 5 ladies brought bars cut up in small servings and served coffee and lemonade. About 106 were there. Two teachers that Mom volunteered in their classroom came. About 10-15 came from Shepard of the Valley church. The rest were from the park. About 5-10 spoke when we opened up the service for sharing memories. We cleaned up after the service and went back to the trailer to relax. At 5 I walked to the church. They were having Awana there. Nine youth. I heard the books of the Bible in Spanish as I helped with the handbook time. Kind of fun!!
