All Set for the Final Farewell

Many of our family members are gathering at the Best Western in Woodburn, Oregon tonight.  

This afternoon, we set up for Mom's memorial and lunch and then finished up emptying Mom's apartment at the assisted living unit where she lived for the last six months.

All of the pieces are in place for a full day tomorrow.    We will be joined by local family and friends to celebrate Mom's life and bid her farewell.
