Marie's memorial service was yesterday. She would have been happy with it I think, although as I told Steve, she would have berated us all for crying so much. Her family honored me greatly by allowing me to assist with her continued travel in this world and I thank them profusely for that. Jacob said the most comforting thing that I heard anyone say yesterday when he recited one of Marie's favorite quotes:

Dance like no one's watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like no one's listening, live like it's heaven on earth. - William Pukey

Marie always did find the best quotes.
