Tribute

My God, we are so sad, but so grateful. If there have to be tears, let them be tears of joy! There have been many emotions over the 101 years of my Mother's life, but we will remember only two: laughter & love. When she laughed, we all laughed harder. When someone can generate a smile, they leave behind a small piece that in some way feels like they're still with us. We joked with her the night before she passed that we were changing her 80+ year political affiliation. We know she went with Christ, with a smile on her face. 101 years is an amazing life & people are in awe. She left us on the 4th of July, knowing she gave us more to celebrate every year going forward. Rest in peace, Mom, and yes, we're taking you back to Kansas.
