Our mother was a gatherer. She gathered friends and kept them for decades. She gathered our family faithfully in her home. There was always food, love, and generosity. As she lingered on that last day, October 27th, her house was full of her family. They gathered close, held her hand, declared their love...sang over her, prayed over her... played the piano for her.
Our family feels as if she left us a treasure chest of resources to draw from in times of trouble. So much wisdom is ours for the future.
What a legacy!
