Grace and Courage

The biggest fan of this blog is now walking on streets of gold. Di commented on every post and picture, and let me know when I was getting slack on my blogging job. She has left each of us with a legacy of love, and an example of what grace, courage and faithfulness truly look like. Her quiet strength was evident in everything she did and in every life she touched. I think I  am most grateful for the impact she had on my children's lives.  I know they are better people due to her influence. She loved them unconditionally, and was a vital part in every stage of their lives. She excelled in every role- wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. During one of our last conversations, I told her that David was going to be so excited to see her. She gently squeezed my hand and said, "I know and I can't wait to see him and Mom." So, now we rely on our memories of her gentle, but persuasive influences. I know I am a better person for having known her. It seemed like everything I saw today was yellow (her very favorite color), and I couldn't help but smile.

Lots of memories and lots of love in every picture!

I have said many times that everyone should have a Di in their lives,

 and I am so thankful we had her!
