After the memorial, everyone retired to their various hotel rooms and guest quarters for long naps, much needed after so much emotional output. Everyone except me, of course! Margaret had napped on my back during the reception, so was then wide awake, negating my ability to lay down--which is always how it is, right?
We met for dinner at a local Italian restaurant, which was a positive and joyful way to end the day. (We decided Chris would stay back with John and Mary since dinner didn't start till 7:00 p.m.)
Margaret has a real fondness for Aunt Alex, as formed when we were together four weeks ago when Mom passed away.
Nanna Linda gave us all hanging glass sunflower decorations in remembrance of Mom, who particularly appreciated the cheerful yellow flowers.
At family gatherings every few years, the sisters have always posed for this photo together, and this is the first one with the four remaining sisters: Alex, Stella, Elizabeth, Erica (the twin)
