Kyle's Eagle Court of Honor‏

I am hoping to get invitations out, but things are so crazy around here with work, church, volunteering, illnesses, teenagers, senility, etc. (perhaps some of you know how it goes with the Howards).

Kyle's Eagle Court of Honor will be February 29, 2012, at 7:30 p.m.  It will be held at our stake center on the corner of 600 East and 700 North.  Please forward this to Michael and Benjamin so they may come if they have time.  There will not be any fooferaw, but it will have an eagle's nest.  Matthew's pack meeting will be at 6:00 so my family will already be there.  It is our Blue and Gold banquet and his is supposed to get his Arrow of Light (but Cub awards do not always go as I would like).  So, for those of you who can come, we'll just meet at the church at 7:30.

Thanks,
AnnMarie

Marilyn Was Missed Today

Marilyn (Ealey) and I sat by each other at Relief Society last week. It seemed like an empty row without her today. All the old cronies sit on that row--Bender, Jarrett, Ealey, Nichols, etc.

I remembered to myself that, when others have died that attended our meetings, the seats they once used remain empty for awhile. It is as though the seat was still being saved for the person who no longer is there to take it. The memory of the person lingers and it is as if they were about to come and take their usual place. The mind knows that will not happen but the heart leaves room.
