Accessorize with Sparkle

Our mom taught us many things. But chief among them, especially over this past year, is that you can never have to much glitter. It's as if while the darkness grew stronger, she reached for light in any way she could. And if you're trying to shine, why not sparkle too?

Over this past week we found mom's glitter stock pile, and added some of our own, and did the things she would want us to do - covered everything we could in the sparkling mess. 

So today for mom's memorial service, we invite you to wear something glittery. Black for our mourning is appropriate, but accessorize with sparkle as we bear witness to the light. 

Fellowship Hall will be filled photos of mom's life after her service. Stay a while to look, write down some of your own memories with her, eat, and comfort one another. 

Today will be hard for us, but not for her. So we enter today grateful her pain is gone, and her eternal sparkle is obtained.
