Celebration of Life

I went to a Celebration of Life today. Paul was certain that he wanted to have a Celebration of Life rather than a funeral for his sweet wife Lyn.

I was inspired.

I hardly knew Lyn. She lived in my basement for a couple months. I only talked to her a handful of times. But I talked and still talk to her husband everyday. I got to know Lyn fairly well today. What a wonderful woman-a woman who I would like to be more like!

Her eyes only saw beauty. She was excited to be alive and thanked God for her life daily. She loved children and her family and her husband. Most of all, she loved God.

She battled with cancer for nearly 8 years and throughout her battle she still saw beauty and kept her amazing outlook on life.

I am blessed to have known her-even for a short time.
