CONNIE AMOS - Celebration of Life Sept 4th, 2010

Moms celebration of life was a very nice event, with everything from crying to singing to eating to visiting to talking and a late night! I believe this was a "must see" event. I have so many people to thank so where do I begin?

Well, to ALL the many people who came and took time out to remember my mom we thank you! We also thank you for all the food that you brought...WOW....mom would have been happy. Our family and friends sure can cook!

There sure are lots to thank for the help in putting this together! First and foremost is Dad and Paige ( well Dad just a little more as she is only a teen haha ), they both helped with all the cleaning, yard work and Dad well he was the food and pop and all the "running" around details. Paige if you are reading this you are probably thinking I am "dogging" you by my comment BUT just know this you WERE a BIG help and I love you!

Now there is Tracy she was a big help with some very important details flowers and memorial leaflet. She made an awesome leaflet that I tried to post on here but I can not but here is what the poem said:

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best

Now, if that doesnt make you cry I dont know what will. That poem was the MOST perfect poem and totally describes these past months. Tracy THANKS AGAIN! Now she also came up the weekend before and helped me in the gardens and after all the weeding she did, she realized 2 things: ONE - it needed more color and TWO - she got into some poison ivy or oak. As for the needed color, she contacted the Marlene, from Fruits of Life (this is the woman mom got most of her flowers from) and this woman set us up big time with some very nice potting arrangements, thanks MARLENE. Now for the poison ivy/oak well it was a real pain for Tracy but I think she finally got the right medicine and is should be going away now. Sorry for all that Tracy, but next year stay AWAY from the shed!

There are probably more I am missing and I am sorry but the last people I need to thank are the ones that cleaned up my kitchen! I remember walking in the door looking at everything and then saying wow yuck now way not now and walked back out. But the next time I walked in BAM it was clean so thanks and I do know one person who was doing stuff inside was Danielle so thank you so much Danielle it was nice for you to keep up on that stuff. I know others helped her like Carrie and Paula and I thank you guys. It was a great relief not to have to go to bed worrying about all that. I love you all.

There is more I would like to say, but I wanted to get on here and tell ALL of you thanks and it was a great special day on Saturday, thanks to so many people! I love you all and will talk again soon.
