Here is a shot of a few moments before setting mom free into the ocean. It was so surreal... But she always wanted us to send out a bunch of balloons for her, so here they are mom!! We each let one go in her honor! With all our love and memories of this sweetest soul, mom is now a part of our beautiful ocean. ♥

Balloons are a nice touch Marcie. They did that at my wife's mothers funeral this year. It was touching.

I'm so glad that Allison (Verena's granddaughter) remembered that special talk she had with Grammy, when mom told her she wanted balloons let go at her "Celebration of Life". They sure were beautiful that evening. Only Mom....:)
