Memories

At this holiday season we not only celebrated the Birth but also were reminded that death is a part of life. We attended the service for the mother of a dear friend of ours. Her grandchildren who were present sang "Amazing Grace"- what a moving moment. She was so obviously loved and looked to as a woman of such faith by so many people.
We also attended the service for Mary's cousin. I have never seen a church so packed for a memorial service. Dick was remembered by family, friends and football associates. What a tribute to him. As one of them stated - "Dick loved things beginning with F - family, football, fishing, friends and fun!"
Memories are built everyday in the everyday interactions we have with people. My thought is to go out and make those memories, as they are our legacies.
