One more footnote.

Due to Covid, we couldn't have my mom's Celebration of Life/Funeral. Now that as of July 1st all restrictions here in Alberta are lifted, it's looking like July 24th (day before my mom's 80th birthday) we will be able to say goodbye.

Things between my sister, myself and my wife have been rocky at best the past 4 or so years, but my sister and I have started talking and we will sort of plan her memorial.

We are both on board doing a slide show/video collage of my mom's life.

I sent her a song this morning asking if this would be okay for the music of the slide show. She 100% said it was a perfect song.

She could have said no, but she didn't.

I have the perfect picture of my mom to fade the presentation out too, during the song's last words: "Our Wonderful.. Life"

Yes, I'm crying while I type this.

I hope Tommy, Will, JY, Larry, Todd, Chuck and Ricky don't mind.

The Spirit Carries On, the Live Scenes From New York version by Dream Theater would also be another great choice if you care to add another song. You ought to give it a listen if you have not heard it. This live version is tremendous.

Once again I’m sorry about your loss.

This Saturday we will be laying Mom to rest (day before her 80th birthday). Slide show is done.

For those who follow me on Facebook, I will be posting the slide show Saturday sometime after the service.

Thanks to everyone with your kind words and suggestions.
