Pixy you're in my thoughts and prayers. You may not remember me from our GP days, but I assure you that many of us have your beautiful baby in our thoughts!
- Pixy (L) is AMAZING. I mean, I already knew this as do those who know her at least a little bit, but she is simply incredible. Grace, love, kindness, beauty, devotion... all were so evident in a day about her daughter and what her family poured into her little life and the celebration of it.
- ZB is an amazing child. I know we've probably all seen the little video in another thread, but the images compiled of her laughter, personality, talents, tendencies, and expressions were a great snapshot into one amazing person.
- The service was simply beautiful. Colorful balloons floating overhead were mirrored by the colorful clothes worn by those who attended. Thoughtful contributions by family through images, poetry, letters, and just being there. The speaker's address made it evident that this family is deeply loved and supported by their faith family as well as their own family & friends - they knew ZB and the love poured into her and exhibited by her.
- Those who helped hands-on with the service & reception were also amazing. andrealynnasilsjfsunflowerwinecat are the primary ones I can think of, but they were helped not just by other Nesties but also by all who donated to help care for everyone in today's celebration of life. Even those who simply drove the carpools to get the locals there or hosted travelers to be there deserve recognition.
These are all simple observations from someone who knows Pixy somewhat IRL but didn't know ZB personally. I don't think I'm alone in saying I was honored to be able to get a glimpse into this family's existence, celebrate ZB's role in it, and support Pixy in some small way by being there.
