When Chairety passed away, her husband Yogi wasn't sure that he was going to do any sort of funeral service or wake. They had talked about it being a happy event, not something that everyone cries over. He finally decided on doing a "balloon Raising" as he called it. They had done the same thing for Chairety's mom. We went over to their church, grabbed a balloon and a sharpie, and wrote a nice note for Chairety to receive in heaven. I wish we had gotten a pic of the cute pics the boys drew on their balloons for gramma Chairety. It really was a great way to celebrate her life.
They actually did two different groups. We were in the first group to do it.
And they are off!
What a wonderful Idea and sweet tribute. I hope Yogi is doing okay. I'm sure you guys are missing Chairety a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI really love this idea! How is Yogi doing? We know she is in a better place, that is for sure!
