Thanks and your welcome, Erica.
We had the service on Saturday and it was beautiful. My family all came together and my step-dad even got up and spoke. That was a shock because he was going to "sit in the back, drink and maybe leave early". Well, he was in the front and didn't leave early. I was very proud of him. Then my nephew created a slideshow with quotes from family in the middle of slides. He set it to three songs: Elton John's "The One", Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" and Michael Buble's version of "How Sweet It Is (to be loved)". My niece did an awesome speech and my little niece (10 years old) got up and sang a little bit of a song by Hannah Montana called "I miss you". We cried, laughed and talked. After the service my step-dad decided he wanted people over after all. We were just going to go out. It was the best and worst day. Mom would have been proud!
