Red Shoes to a funeral


Mamaw's funeral was really nice. Many of the people wore red shoes as a special tribute to her. It was absolutely wonderful. That even seemed to be the underlying message in Mike McKee, our minister's, message. The red shoes seemed to describe Mamaw's vibrant personality and strong faith. I know she must have been smiling to see it.

The kids were really good considering all the strangers, to them, and having to sit still for so long. Although in children fashion, Alex finally got hungry during the service and quickly sucked down the bottle. She then started screaming until we could get another one made. Again our minister was wonderful, he told me not to worry about the baby, to just stay in the service. Then Riley needed to go to the bathroom. But everything worked out fine.
