Today was the memorial service for Mom. There were so many people there - way more than Dad expected. It was standing room only. Elaine gave a beautiful talk about the legacy Mom left us - for the Perzel girls - Dad called us the YaYa girls - the strength she left us with. Elaine asked all of the Perzel girls to stand - there were so many of us - Me, Carolyn, Elaine, Susan, Sharon, Julie, Leah, Meridith, Emily, Amanda, Lauren, Stephanie. As they say - the force is strong with us.
Afterward we went to Elaine's house and had long visits with family and friends. I met two of Mom's friends from the IRS. I spoke to several neighbors from my childhood, including Mr. Plogstead who used to play Santa for us - until Julie recognized him when she was seven.
