The kids and I flew to Pennsylvania last week to attend my mother in law, Alice's, funeral. My husband had already been here a week. We arrived to lots and lots of SNOW. Yes, our first white Christmas as a family. Too bad it couldn't have been under happier circumstances.The second photo is of my niece, Sam, and my son, Matt. In one day they put together a beautiful tribute to Grandma and sang "It is Well" followed by "Heaven Song." I had never heard that second one before, but now I can't get it out of my head :). No doubt Grandma loved it, as we all did.
In the midst of the sadness, God has been so very apparent. My husband has four brothers and they were all here, with their families, supporting Grandpa and hugging on each other. She's left quite a legacy with those boys...and I'm honored to have known her.
More snow is coming in ... I'll try to post some photos (but don't expect me to wear my flip flops ;-)

So sorry to hear of your loss, Julie. My prayers are with you and your family.
I'm glad you arrived safely in PA and again, so sad to hear about your MIL's passing. It's especially hard this time of year :-( I think it's wonderful that she left such a beautiful legacy behind! Hugs xo
