Final Entry

This is the final entry for this blog. It has been a hectic and sad couple of weeks. The visitation yesterday for Cindy was really moving. There were so many people that came out to pay their respects, I know that the whole family was really honored. Cindy was loved by so many people.

The funeral was today, and it was beautiful. Looking out into the pews, right before the the service, was really amazing. Again, there were so many faces! It was a true testament to what kind of person Cindy was. Popular and loved. The songs and bible verses were really inspirational. They truly fit Cindy. The sermon and memories were really specia tool. Ryan and I had a good time putting together the slide show for Cindy. It was hard at times, but there were some really great memories. Cindy passed here photobug gene down to Ryan! The campers singing at the end was priceless and I know Cindy was smiling down on them from Heaven.

After the DELICIOUS meal that the church put on, the whole extended family went back to the Kelly house to spend time together. We had a lot of people in from out of town. It was great to see Jack's brothers and sisters and cousins from a far. We also got to share a lot of memories about Cindy. She would've loved to see us all together. The kids played, we laughed, and remembered.

It is still pretty surreal that Cindy is gone. I am sure it won't sink in for awhile and the impact is still so new. She was such an amazing person and I am very grateful to have her as a role model of an wonderful wife and mother. I will miss her very much. So, to Cindy.... until we meet again in Heaven. I love you mom.

PS... Cameron told God today that he wants his house in Heaven exactly one block from yours. That way he can walk to your house. :)
