today is cori's dad's memorial service & birthday.
this was my daily picture. i thought it was appropriate.
we scored vip seats. sweet.
the service was at the temple. the temple is so beautiful.
it's so historical- the bombing, driving miss daisy....
look at that beautiful chandelier. amazing.
after the service & cake, a few of us ventured into the sanctuary
where we looked up the date of the bombing- 1958.
(way earlier than we all thought)
if i were to get married again (to the same man of course) and i
wanted to go the synagogue route i would definitely do it at the temple.
it's just so historical & delicate & southern & pretty.
i dedicate this pic in pops honor.
checkout this completely amazing program
from the memorial service.
what a stud, huh?!
complete with 62 life lessons from stanley.
every.single.one is perfect.
my favorites are #'s 27, 12, 1, 49, 54 & 38.
word clouds are so cool.
all of the grandkids drew a picture of their papa zz.
what a beautiful celebration of such a special life.
i felt honored to be present.
Thank you for helping us to honor the memory of my dearest Pop. I miss him terribly and yesterday was such an important day to be surrounded by family and friends. I am grateful you, Jim and Lea were there for me.
