Ambie, Elizabeth and Warren - You know I loved your mom dearly - I shall treasure in my heart our 3 weeks in China forever. We laughed non stop the entire time!

please feel free to share another story after the candle lighting!

At this time, we open the space for guests here today to share a memory. This can be a story or memory that makes you smile or is special to you.If we were all together today this would be like raising your hand and passing the microphone around the room. So if you would like to publically share please raise your hand.There are two ways to raise your hand. First is to use the raise your hand feature in Zoom. To do this click on participants and then the raise hand icon is in the bottom left of the participants panel. Or, we invite you to can do this the old fashion way and wave your hand in the video, our staff will call on you by name and ask you to unmute your microphone.You can also share here, in the chat.

LaRhea was a kindred spirit. (I worked at the Welcome Center for PESD) We were Moms & Grandmas above everything. I know a lot about you. She was VERY proud of all of you. I never was near her without getting a lovely hug & a huge smile. She made me laugh so much! I had so much respect for her talents & her strength, She met each challenge straight on. She would wear a paper hat that said either "Leave me alone" OR "Don't talk to me!" When she wore her "hat" you did what she said!!! I will miss her SO much! I was proud to call her friend. I loved the videos & music! You did your mom proud!!

Thank you all for sharing today and please continue to share your memories on the GatheringUs memorial forLaRhae Russell located here: "Memorial:https://www.gatheringus.com/memorial/la-rhea-russell/4749
