My Mother's Day Celebration












 

A Happier Occasion - McKinley & Jackson got married






 

The Days After

We went to the cemetery to put a bunch of the extra flowers on Jalyn's grave.  Dad wanted to be cremated so we won't have his burial for a few weeks.

So many people sent me flowers, cards, well wishes, brought us food and so many other things.  I'm not sure I can ever repay all of the kindness.

Our new favorite place to be is together.  Its really pretty sad that it took something so horrible for us to realize that family is the most important thing.  So much healing has happened and I know my dad is so proud of all of us right now.

See all the amazing flowers and plants.

I just had to put this on here.  It was such a blessing to have this murderer convicted

 

The Luncheon and more?

These have literally been excruciating posts to do.  But, I had to get them done. My heart is still breaking and it is September.  I'm sure this might get a little easier, but I just don't want to forget him and all he taught me.  Please note the number of people at this luncheon...they are all family and we couldn't fit everyone in the cultural hall that is made to fit an entire ward.  We had to put up tables in the relief society room.  This is how much my parents are loved.  What a legacy my dad has left!!
