Janet,
Thank you for sharing this. I don't drink Pepsi, but I will be thinking of you and your family on Thanksgiving.

Hi: I am so so sorry about Lauren. We shared the same disease. She was a fighter. It was a beautiful day here in Ontario as well and I was thinking of you, a
mom who fought so hard for her beloved daughter. What a funeral! She must have been grinning all day.

What a wonderful thing to get to do at her funeral! I know it was a tough, tough day (been there) but it seems that she was sent off with the people and things she cared about.
You're still in my prayers ~

So glad that you were able to make her prized car part of her services! It is a beautiful vehicle by the way. I know this time must be so difficult for you but I am glad that her funeral was what she wanted. Once again, I have to say that you are one hell of a mother! Lauren was so lucky to have you and your were so lucky to have her too ... even if it was for too short a time.
