had a tremendous experience celebrating Moms 85th Bday last Saturday. It was touching to see her and Uncle Ted Love each other. What great stalwarts in the gospel. So many cousins came.
David and John Bowers and spouses
Uncle Ted, Norma, Kay and wife, Elly
Desiree and few of her great kids
Ken and Melauna
Many 2nd and 1 and 2nd cousins removed i didn't even recognize.
Aunt Marges kids, Julie and husband, Craig, Kelly.
Of course all the usual family
I"m sure Im missing a few.
There are only 4 "smiths" left. Jan and Laverne were unable to attend.
What a celebration for Moms life. Love you Mom. Looking forward to 90th
Des sent this letter
Dear Aunt Esther:
Don't know when you will be checking our your e-mails but wanted you to know how much we enjoyed seeing you and your wonderful family last night. Thank you for holding up so well through it all. Hope you have recouperated. I want to thank all of your children for inviting us. We will look forward to our next time together! Until then, may God's greatest blessings come your way. Love, Desiree
post script. I'm so impressed with how Robin and Des have loved Lauren. What a great lesson in perseverance, love, charity, and enduring to the end. I hope I would have done the same with a "love" child. (you know what I mean). Many wonderful blessings to this family for how they have taken in "one of the least of these". What a great treasure to realize the joy in heaven with a reunion and Lauren will say "thanks mom and dad, let me show you to your glorious mansions on high."
