Last year or so...Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Last year or so Grandpa Ramsey and Aunt Anne passed away within weeks of each other. Attending two funerals almost back to back was wonderful and overwhelming at the same time. I was worried what stories would be shared and what lasting memories people would have of me. It really made me think. <br /><br />I want to be remembered for standing up for truth and righteousness and for showing love by serving those around me. I want people to feel of my love and concern for them individually. And I want my children to know of my love for the Savior and feel of my testimony.Tiffanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10696820147402542907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-51100003006165999472010-09-13T22:33:42.298-06:002010-09-13T22:33:42.298-06:00I had a mom moment yesterday.

I love her handwriting and just seeing it brought the tears to my eyes. <br /><br />I have decided that I LOVE funerals. the first one I went to after my mom's was so hard because I remembered being that person on the front row and all the feelings came back. But since then I have had the opportunity to attend a few more and I always leave wanting to be a better person. <br /><br />I also have decided I could care less what is done at my funeral. A funeral is for the living so I would want my loved ones to do whatever would help them heal and not worry about what I would want, after all, I will be in a much better place. But I do hope that my funeral makes others leave wanting to be a batter person. <br /><br />Love your posts April!

No, I don't make my choices based on what people will think of me after I die (or even what they'll think of me now), but those are the qualities I most aspire to have.<br /><br />Nice post. I enjoyed it - and I was awake enjoying the thunderstorm early this morning, too.Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169406203636919837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-78241182393368684722010-09-10T18:07:08.239-06:002010-09-10T18:07:08.239-06:00What a sweet post, April.

Your mother is a woman of great character and that is the theme that dominates her memory--not whether she burned dinner or "collected" cottage cheese containers. (For those of you who didn't know Eddie Kaye, I don't think she committed either of those foibles!) Thank you for sharing a bit of her huge legacy.Mothershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734896338035985071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-65490101639536858752010-09-10T17:21:23.536-06:002010-09-10T17:21:23.536-06:00i am with your mom, i love hearing the rain and wa...i am with your mom, i love hearing the rain and watching the lightning.<br /><br />i am thinking it would be hard to remember her flaws because they were so few and definitely overshadowed by all her good.<br /><br />when i die my legacy will be very different depending on who you ask ;)Me~Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108765695483654546noreply@blogger.com
