Patty's memorial


There is no right or easy way to say good bye to your mother - I have watch Farrah through so many stages of her mother's fight against cancer.  Being able to join them for the memorial was another window into their love for her and all that Patty's life was for.  The church was beautiful, the friends and family that attended was truly a tribute - This was a quick photo I snapped as I wanted to capture it for Farrah and Ambra - the site, the snow, the preacher and them together - 
Flowers that we got to lay and say a prayer.


after the service we all joined up at their cousin's restaurant in Clinton  - Chris and I helped with the kiddos who were amazing
Brian had a very nice speech bringing us all together.  Amazed by the beautiful photos, the slide show and treasure that Patty truly is.
The cake was made by a childhood friend of Farrah and Ambra's and while she couldn't be at the service, her gift of love was.
Meeting Farrah's family and friends was a deeper way of knowing more about Farrah and who she is - from her Dad to her grade school best friends. 
The kids were great at the beginning - but when you have a stage.....  They have to use it.
We drove home that snowy evening feeling a part of their lives and reflecting on the friends that are true treasures.
and headed to a 40th birthday party for Meg.  Talk about switching gears.
