Smiling, laughing, brilliant

Wanted to take a moment to say "thanks" to a few of Mom's past school mates. Though they didn't post their comments here, they send me private messages. I won't give all the details, but the running theme from all three was this: She was always smiling, laughing, and bringing others along for the ride.

I heard some beautiful and funny memories at the memorial service as well. Many of those sentiments echoed what I typed above, but a couple of other things that were mentioned:
Her love of nature (which you will read about more once I get her Tribute up here), and her Brilliant mind.

She used that brilliant mind all the time. It was always tick-tick-ticking away. It drove her intense and enlightening conversations, and her insatiable love of reading on all topics. She was especially interested in religion, the history of religion, and the history of family and country. I see many of those traits in myself, which re-affirms for me that she is not gone, but living in me.

Peace
