Yesterday really could not have gone better.  I ended up at the podium for almost 40 minutes.  I told a couple of stories (hula hoop included) and said how much I would miss her, etc, etc, expecting to be done.  Then her youngest son stood up and said, ''hey auntie, do you remember when you took us to Disneyworld?  Tell the frog story!''  (I had a free trip for four so I took her and her two sons (aged 10 and 12 at the time) to Orlando.  We were sitting on the street waiting for the Electric Light Parade (?) and this bunch of frogs came out of nowhere and were jumping all over us.  We had to run down Main Street (screaming) to get away from them.  It was far funnier to see than to talk about, but it was funny).  Then someone asked me to tell another story and then another.  Apparently I do a pretty good Chele impersonation too.  We laughed far more than we cried.  It was great. 

Today I am taking off to go down to Newport, Oregon for four days.  Need some rest and relaxation.  I am leaving around noon today and will be back on Tuesday.  Hope you all have a great weekend.

Thank you all for your wonderful messages.  I am swamped at work now that I have returned and will hopefully be able to get back on the board in a couple of days.  Had a great trip to Oregon, will tell you about it soon.

I'm glad things went well for you. Too many people forget that while you mourn the loss, you need to celebrate their life. It sounds as if you were able to do both.
