Ma's Memorial

One of Ma's favorite places on Earth was Yellowstone National Park and we promised her that is where we would spread her ashes:

She died in November but we had to wait until June for the snow to melt:





Tom found the perfect spot for our ceremony, very private and peaceful:


Aunt Katie and our cousins joined us from Montana.  And thank goodness, because apparently they are professional picnic-ers and had all the necessary stuff - tables, chairs, ice chests, etc:



 Michelle made our simple ceremony very special by singing "Amazing Grace":

 

It was the perfect send-off.  Ma would have approved. There was an eagle perched above us the entire time we were at the river. I felt Ma's spirit in the eagle and knew she was watching over us:


Goodbye:



How lucky we all were to have had such a wonderful woman in our lives:
