This past Sunday we, my family, celebrated my mother and her love for this world. It was a wonderful three-part celebration. We started at Crystal Cove State Beach, moved to a church in Laguna Beach and finished off at the home of my younger sister in SJC. We, the family were joined by friends and family; as my brother stated to me, it really was all family because that is how our mother viewed everyone. If you needed a family our mother would welcome you into ours.

I am grateful for my sister’s who planned the whole celebration; my brother who did the video and live streaming and my partner, Grace, who did the cooking at my sister’s house. It was a great celebration of my mother’s life.
