The Celebration of Life on 23 November was beautiful. Thank you to everyone that came - we had about 70 people at the celebration, including friends and family from Virginia and New York.
The place looked absolutely beautiful, thanks to our event host at the Glen Lakes Country Club. She hooked us up with the most spectacular flowers and bling! Aunt Joyce made a beautiful memory book "Big Sister" that was filled with old photos and memories. It was absolutely stunning. She also brought some school photos that we put out with the album and some gorgeous red roses that Bill brought to the celebration.
My sisters and I did a "top ten" list of mom's quirks, and we ended the ceremony with a beautiful video slideshow. We posted the slideshow to youtube. The slideshow originally contained the "Love Grows" video by Edison Lighthouse (also on youtube) - it came in after the "Celebration of Life" words. The video was too long for youtube, so we had to leave that part out. You'll also need to forgive the resolution - when you post to youtube, you don't have the quality of the original.
Here it is, for your viewing pleasure:
