I wish I had some awesome words to say here, but I am just drained.
We had over 400 people come to pay their respects to Mom today. Teachers, past principals, friends, family.... We took turns spreading rose petals across Mom's body. Her artwork hung beside her. Our family pictures displayed on a slide show surrounded by candles. It was an amazing send off to a cool ass chick.
Tomorrow will be harder I think if that is even possible. Our own personal saint will be laid to rest right in the middle between the chapel and the bell tower. Mom will love it. She is smack dab in the middle of all the action. The sun will rise behind the cross to her right and set behind the cross to her left.

How beautifully you put your feelings and thoughts. Our tears were not really sadness, just tears of time we might have spent with Maryann. Knowing that so many want to carry on her spirit is a joy for all of us. Your family has so generously shared Maryann with all of us. Thank you, thank you, Michele
