07-04-26 Celebrated Jeanne
I did some chores, got ready and headed to Meadowbrook for Jeanne’s celebration of life on the Taggarts yard. There were so many cousins and their adult kids It was an incredible gathering and exactly what Mom wants. Barry has offered his place for it. I was so happy to see my cousin Sarah and her husband Kevin up from Squamish. She gave me a beautiful card with a handwritten message including Elvis lyrics and a candle to hold space for my lost loved one.
Mark did brisket in the smoker, his daughter Sarah made amazing Mac and cheese and we all brought salads and desserts. Roger, Rae, Gene and Sawyer also came.
It was so good to hug Rod and Terry who lost their mom a couple days ago at 98
Uncle Lawrence invited me over Nextdoor to have a Bumbu toast to Mom and sent me home with the bottle.
I am sad that cousin Mark’s wife Elaine was not there as her Mom is at deaths door. That will be the fourth death this year in that part of our family. 2026 sucks but family is supportive
