Many of you were all so thoughtful and gave much appreciated prayers for my mom's health and well being. I want you all to know she appreciated every comment and she will miss the times we talked about recipes and other things here. She often asked about some of you - mostly how is Grganny is doing, but very often inquired about my activity and correspondence here - sometimes it was "what do you think your figure skating friends think about..." topics.
The video / slide show memorial is NOW / NEW posted on Metcafé -

Music included. Much better with the music!
The turn out was huge for her memorial and as much as we have cried we have also laughed in remembrance.
She got to see 8 grandchildren and 2 great grands - Shannon being the last grandchild she held.
I am very choked up to say that she did accept Jia Min as my wife although we are not Married yet and Mom so wanted to be a part of - but I think she will be anyway. I will always remember her leaning over the hospital bed to give Mom a kiss and tell her she loves her new mom and Mom saying how welcome she is to this family. We all never got to sit down at home and have that dinner where Mom and Jia would eat all the stuff I can't even look at telling each other how good it is and I should try it, but I think they know how much they had in common although they came from 2 completely different worlds and I will always see many things in Jia that will remind me of my Mom.
I am sorry as I am sure may of you are to see her go, but we should celebrate her not having anymore pain. She would want everyone to know that she felt like she was not the best she felt she could be as a mother but a INCREDIBLE grandma - that is her own wish. And the grand kids will agree.
