Mom and Dad and I flew to Washington last weekend to join some of our family for a memorial for Grandma. We arrived on Wednesday night and spent the night with Mark and Carol. It was so great being there in the morning and getting to see Noah, Jennifer and Sadie as well as Rebecca and her daughters, Lucy and Coco. That afternoon we drove to the ferry and went to Port Townsend. We spent the afternoon and evening with Barb and Bruce. The next day was Friday. Mark and Carol flew their plane over and Noah, Jennifer, Austin and Sadie drove. We spent some time at the park watching Sadie play. The weather was spectacular. Mark and Dad and I went up in the little plane that afternoon and scattered some of Grandma and Uncle Keith's ashes near Protection Island. When Grandma lived at Cape George, she had a view of Protection Island. That evening we had a lovely dinner at the Port Hadlock Inn where Grandma and Grandpa had their boat. It was so nice to sit around and visit with everyone. When dinner was over we went outside and spent some time talking about Grandma and many wonderful memories and thoughts that we all had. I felt so lucky to be able to be there, and happy that we were all able to share some moments that we had treasured with such a remarkable and loving woman.

Brian and I also felt that our memmorial for Grandma was everything that we hoped it would be. She has a wonderful legacy in her family. I felt so close to everyone there and felt so happy to be able to share memories with other people who loved her so much. We missed those who couldn't be there like Craig and his family and Ross, but we know that they were there in spirit.
We wish we could have been there!
