It is definitely a worthy cause, and MaeLynn would have loved for friends and family to be a part of it. Lee also did this last year for MaeLynn. A neat way to remember a neat person.
Also, here is MaeLynn's actual obituary:
MaeLynn Kartchner Harris, beloved wife, mother, daughter and friend, passed away quietly at home Jan. 31, 2011, from neuroendocrine cancer.
MaeLynn was born April 11, 1980, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the daughter of Jerry Charles Kartchner and Marie Hanks Kartchner. She attended school in Salt Lake City and graduated from Brighton High School in 1998. In 2002 she graduated from Utah State University with a major in public relations.
MaeLynn married Andrew Lee Harris of North Logan, Utah, on June 22, 2001, in the Jordan River LDS Temple. They made their home in Logan. They are the parents of five children: Kendall (8), Ellie (6), Triston (4), Sawyer (4), and Abigail (3).
MaeLynn was an amazingly sweet person who brought joy to whomever she met. She loved painting, being outdoors, and socializing. She will be remembered as a happy, fun-loving, kind, beautiful woman who loved life. She served faithfully in multiple callings in the LDS Church and had a firm and abiding testimony. Her children were her joy and happiness and she was an excellent mother.
As a family we would like to thank all of those who cared so lovingly for MaeLynn and her family during her illness. The kindness, effort, and generosity extended in her behalf were without limit and were greatly appreciated.
MaeLynn is survived by her husband and children, her parents, her sister, Jamie, and her maternal grandmother, Mae Hanks, for whom she was named. She is also survived by her in-laws, Lee and Pamela Harris, and her biological family, Andy and Lori Reese, Devan, Jaide and Tonia.

I am deeply touched by this tribute to MaeLynn and her beautiful family. I saw her grow from a charming, happy child to a lovely accomplished woman, wife and mother. I admire her courage and endurance.

I wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteyour tribute to her at the funeral was touching, thoughtful, playful and loving, just like Mae. You did a beautiful job. It was one of the most beautiful and soul stirring services I have ever been too! Thanks for keeping this blog up.
