What Then?

With mom gone, suddenly it gets hard to find words to say on a blog about Maxine's journey. It has ended.  But of course the effects of her life will go on forever.  That is becoming evident as tributes pour in from all over the world.  We received a touching one from Australia just a few minutes ago.  

Her obituary, pretty much as drafted on the blog, is now published in both the Frontiersman and the Anchorage Daily News.  You can access them both by going to frontiersman.com and the obituary@adn.com respectively.  Each of them have a memorial book registry that you can sign and we will include with the guest book at the memorial service.

The service will be Monday the 16th, 1 PM at Lazy Mt. Bible Church.  I will post the program tomorrow after it is finalized.   If any of you have written comments to share or photos that could be included in the power point we will be glad to incorporate them but Thursday night is pretty much the deadline for the photos.  John Hammond will be videoing  the service so CD's will be available later if you are interested.  Just let me know if you are interested.

The birthday party is still on but we decided to make it  a family thing at Ray's place on Sunday afternoon, the 15th.  By putting the birthday party and the memorial service back to back those flying in will be able to take in both events.  The only snag so far is that we can't find a recipe for a chocolate angel food cake.  Does anyone know what mom was talking about?  For now we've decided to just use a normal white angel food cake and add chocolate.  The cream cheese frosting is no problem.
